Can you train endurance without losing strength, power, or muscle? In this episode we bust myths and break down the science behind concurrent training — showing how strength and endurance can coexist when programmed smartly. This is not about marathon training, or long-distance running in general, but about making running and strength exist together.
You’ll learn:
How the interference effect works — and what research actually says about mixing running and lifting
Why training order matters for strength outcomes when resistance and endurance workouts are combined
Evidence that well-designed concurrent programs can still build strength and endurance without compromise
Practical strategies for scheduling runs and lifts so they support, not sabotage, each other
Whether you’re a strength athlete wanting better conditioning or an endurance athlete lifting for performance, this episode gives science-based solutions — no PhD required.
