Episode notes
Embed Prehab Into Your Warm Up
- Sneak prehab into your run warm up to prevent recurring injuries and wake up weak muscles.
- Do 3–10 minutes of lunges, glute bridges and core work before every run to engage hips, glutes and core.
Make Strength Training Nonnegotiable
- Make strength training mandatory for runners, especially older athletes.
- Start bodyweight, aim for two sessions weekly, then progressively add weight and occasional heavy 5-rep sets.
Refuel Fast After Workouts To Protect Muscle
- Refuel within 30 minutes after hard sessions to maintain muscle and recovery, especially for women.
- Aim for a ~2:1 carb-to-protein ratio; liquids like protein shakes work well when appetite is low.
