Podcast Title: Running for Powerlifters

Are you a lifter who’s ever thought, “Running will ruin my gains,” or “I’m just not built for cardio”? In this episode, we break down the myths, misconceptions, and limiting beliefs many powerlifters have about running. Whether you think running will zap your strength or that it’s simply not for you, we’re here to challenge those assumptions and explore how lifting and running can complement each other.

As always, our panel of Alpha Athletes coaches brings a mix of experience and fresh perspectives. Join the team as they share their personal journeys of embracing running:

• Michael Sechos: Alpha’s hybrid coach, known for his expertise in balancing heavy lifting and endurance training. In just one year, he went from barely running 10 minutes to completing a full marathon—all while keeping his strength intact. His journey proves you can thrive in both worlds.
• George Moussa: Alpha co-owner, strength coach, and powerlifter who’s never run before—but is now asking, “What if I could?” His candid reflections will resonate with anyone hesitant to take the leap. (And stay tuned for his exciting reveal about what’s coming up next year!)
• Tatsuya Pun: Alpha strength coach and powerlifter turned boxer, who started running to improve his health and now uses it to sharpen his footwork and boost stamina for boxing—all while continuing to lift weights. His story highlights how running can take your athleticism to the next level.
• Isabella von Weissenberg: Alpha’s elite powerlifting coach, who’s learning how to integrate running into her strength-focused lifestyle while staying competitive at the highest level.
