Lift Heavy Things.
Run when you're 90.

by George P.

Strength training isn't about tight Tees and instagram Abs. It's about building a foundation to run on for decades.

Round round three of...

...with coach & running-longevity-guru Tommy Lewis. Last time it was all about eating more. This time it's all about lifting heavy things.

In Tommy's words:

If you're looking to run throughout your whole life, strength training is your friend.

Strength builds resilience

Weight training strengthens muscles, tendons, bones, and joints - all the stuff that keeps you injury-resistant for Kms and Kms, and Kms.

Running isn’t enough.

Running can often feel repetitive and one dimensional. Strength training fills the gaps, mixes things up, challenges you in new ways which keeps things fresh.

No one loves core. But core loves everyone.

Injury prevention is one thing, running efficiency is another. Core strength allows you to channel the power generated through your arms and legs. So if you want to run faster, or for running to feel easier, core work is a must.

Life is busy. Here's three easy wins:

1. Mix in two x 20-minute strength sessions a week.
Even just 20 or 30 minutes focused on legs, hips, and your trunk (core) makes a huge difference over time.

2. Go slow.

Don’t rush and just go through the motions. Time under tension builds resilience. Slow movements down, keep it light at first and focus on control.

3. Mindset.

Think durability, not aesthetics.Train to feel strong and stable when you’re tired - that’s the acid test.

Thanks Tommy!
