My client Brandon has had an amazing few years: he resolved several imbalances, improved his stride, healed ITBS, ran PR's in 4 major race distances, and also set a few training mileage PR's .... wow!
In this episode, he explains how he turned his running around and got faster, healthier, and able to train even more.
A big part was his embrace of strength training with our High Performance Lifting program. For other options, see all of our Training Programs.
We discuss:
- What his training was like before he made this transformation
- How he changed his approach to running for the better
- The distances that he set PR's in
- The most important lessons he'd tell you if you want to improve
Thanks Boulderthon!
Boulderthon is a top 10 race in America according to USA Today and one of the best fall marathons according to Runner’s World. With a 5k, 10k, half marathon, and marathon, Boulderthon offers an amazing fall destination race weekend right at the foothills of the Rockies. Use code STRENGTH20 for $20 off the marathon or half marathon.
Join me in Boulder, one of the top running destinations in the country, on September 28th, to experience the tight knit running community here, race on the epic streets of Boulder, and finish on historic Pearl Street. While I live in Denver, I travel to boulder probably once a week to run. It’s arguably one of the best running locations in the United States.
There’ll probably be cool and crisp fall weather for racing fast, too. And don’t worry, Boulderthon is a BQ-eligible, USA Track & Field Sanctioned Event.
Boulderthon is on track to sell out again this year so don’t miss out. Use code STRENGTH20 to save $20 on the marathon or half-marathon here and I hope to see you in Boulder this fall.
Thanks 2XU!
If you haven’t tried 2XU's technical compression gear, you are missing out! I love their tights - if you’re following me on Instagram you’ve seen me wear these tights all the time. Two Times You has been the world leader in performance compression for 20 years - helping runners feel better and recover faster with compression gear that’s backed by scientific evidence.
Their graduated compression gear is engineered to improve blood flow and performance, while speeding recovery. Plus, they also have arm and calf sleeves for more targeted compression if you need it.
The Light Speed React compression half-tights are my go-to now that it’s warming up here in Colorado. They’re built for speed, have enough compression to give me the support I want, and enough pockets for my phone and a lot of gels.
Knowing that their gear is engineered for runners, by runners, and backed by research, makes me absolutely love 2XU. Go to 2xu.com and use code JASON (in all caps) to get 20% off sitewide (except clearance items or wetsuits). Again that’s code JASON for 20% off at 2xu.com
