In this episode Nick answers the question, what’s the go with Bullet-proofing your body for running?
He explains how to juggle strength training & running volume, the key movements and lifts you should be doing in the gym, specific exercises and rep ranges to improve lower body strength and reduce the likelihood of injuries and he essentially sums up how to nail the basics as a runner.
