Running a Half Marathon

The scientific evidence says we need a minimum of two strength sessions per week and so that's usually what I would try and aim for. How that's then kind of organized within the week is is again a little bit more tricky and is quite individual. Some runners like to do their strength training on an easier running day so it doesn't kind of interfere with harder like tempo type running sessions or interval type running sessions which is completely fine. Another runners prefer to do it on their harder days so they kind of adopt what I would term a sort of polarized approach to the week where you have very hard days which include your harder running and your strength training sessions.
