In this episode gives us the rundown on what is an appropriate dosage of strength training for athletes. Personal fitness level, sport, and desire to train are all factors that go into the individual dosage, but the big takeaway here is: less is more!
Focusing on a solid amount of work that benefits where you’re training + goals are at, then dividing that up throughout the days you know you’ll want to (or are able to) get in the gym is how you will get long term results. You cannot endlessly build strength and most athletes aren’t even recovering well enough to see the fruits of their labor.
If you want to know more on how to dosage your strength in a way that is actually appropriate to your training goals, please join us for our workshop on strength training in June!

Fall marathon on the calendar AND you just came off a hard spring race/training season? You gotta rest up babe. And this post is going to guide you through it...
Even if you didn’t just complete a strenuous race or training cycle, you may also be in this category if you’ve been feeling burnt out, dragging yourself to train, managing a ni**le, or your bloodwork has come back with some deficiencies. It’s time to invest in your rest.
Why? Think of the ole car analogy that says “you (literally) can’t run on an empty tank”. Basically, you have to get your body ready to absorb the work you’re going to be doing during your marathon build. If you don’t you could be risking ongoing ni**les that take a turn for something worse, continuing to feel beat down during training, and even a poor outcome on race day.
Why can rest be challenging to embrace? We fear losing fitness and think we’ll make bigger gains by continuing to build on the fitness we’ve already built. Reminder, fitness is rented not owned and we take these breaks in the name of the long game. It’s a marathon not a sprint.
As you read through the slides remember training advice will always require some nuance. If you need additional help navigating what rest should look like for you, we’re here in the comments and DMs!

How many days do I need to run a week? How many days a week should I run?
It depends. It’s not just about what your goals are but also about your training history and injury risk factors. We see athletes PR on 3 days a week up to 6 days a week!
Should I be doing speed work?
It depends. Likely some level of speedwork should be incorporated but there is a big range from weekly strides to meaty quality sessions and spicy long runs. We see athletes PR on almost nothing, to needing an overhaul on what their speed looks like.
Should I be cross-training?
It depends. How much are you running, what are your goals, what are your injury risk factors? Some athletes thrive from cutting back mileage and swapping with some biking and others really benefit from just getting some more running specific work in.
How long should my longest long run be?
It depends! The length of an athlete’s longest long run depends on their pace, training and injury history, recovery skills, and goals. We’ve had athletes run strong with their longest run being 16 miles and others knocking out spicy 22 milers.
So why use something like when they are only using a small sample of your contributing factors to build your training. It might work out, but it’s also a gamble.
The good news? When we build our Personalized Training Plans, we ask you about all the things that go into building you a training plan that balances your goals with getting you to the start line healthy and not burnt out hating training.
The cost? The SAME as a Runna subscription (Runna = 19.99/mo, our 16 week plan = 80$)
Even better, if you’re local to AZ and training for one our fall marathons, you can get the training plan for $60 with some additional perks using code “LOCAL20”. Want details on this? Slide into our DMs.
