If you are ready to include strength training into your 2024 running routine, but don't know where to start, this episode is for you. As runners, we know we should be strength training, but not all strength training is created equal.

To help us understand exactly what runners should be doing in the gym or at home, we have Dr. Gaby Go with us today. Dr. Gaby Go is a Physical Therapist and Run Coach that is currently training for the Boston Marathon. She was a D1 track athlete as the University of Maryland and has run multiple sub 3:30 marathons.

Dr. Gaby and I will be joining together for an in person workshop in Rockville, Maryland on Feb 3rd from 1-3 pm for a hands on injury prevention clinic for runners. For tickets, click here.

Although strength training can seem overwhelming, it can make a huge impact in your running performance when done correctly. Dr. Gaby breaks down the do's and don'ts that runners should pay attention to when going through a strength workout. We discuss:

The mistakes runners make when strength training and how to avoid these mistakes
Favorite strength exercises that runners should be including in their weekly strength routine
A common movement pattern that runners should be working towards mastering
The importance of single leg stability
The one thing that has helped Dr. Gaby prevent injuries in 2023
