This is great Sandy, thanks! I really want to incorporate strenght training but are afraid to do everything wrong in the gym. Your videos are helping so much.
Another good one is theraband anchored at ankle height the n stand opposite it and pull on it and do squats. Teaches shoulder blades back and down and bum to go back.
I know this may not necessarily be new and current for you, but I found this very helpful as I embark on a journey to get stronger and faster. Thank you! 🙌
Every time Sandi uploads it's always such in-depth and valuable info! Thank you for this, I've started to incorporate a proper strength training routine for my first Boston Marathon and 2020 trail season and have been trying to add a proper gym session each week with squats and deadlifts - thank you for the great info! I wasn't sure when to add gym sessions but from now on it will be after speed workouts to "keep hard days hard and easy days easy" and handle DOMS on easy days.
Hi sandi I would love it if you could do a video on weight training for your calves to help prevent injury’s like Achilles tendinitis, much appreciated thanks
That's a good one. I'm doing a lot of heavy calf stuff for that reason now. If I can get my own Achilles issue under control with it, I'll certainly do a video on it.
Thanks Sandi - this a really helpful video. My physio has recommended strength training to improve my strength and power and reduce my injuries from endurance running.
You have to have swing those arms for a long time, so I'd say yes. But you need to find a balance. Having too much upper body muscle mass is not advised, it's counterintuitive.
Love the video!!! Quick questions if a runner adds strength training into the schedule should they also increase the amount of stretching they do or can that remain the same? Also what kind of stretches/cooldown and warmup would be appropriate after/before a strength training session? Thanks
Hi, I currently run 3 days a week, every other day essentially. If I do strength on my off day, I'm sore for my run day and I don't like that. So I prefer to do strength on my run day. Should I do strength before or after running? Currently I do my run, and a few minutes later do my strength training almost right after, and then stretch. Is this fine?
When would u cap ur strength to avoid getting too baulk if want a fast 5k? I'm 85kg and want to get to 100 just cause its a nice number. Guessing if running the goal get to a hundred then just do more reps each set till can do a thousand.
Is there any correlation between squat and deadlift strength and running ability? From your video, it sounds like a runner may not need to get as strong as the research suggests
I just hit 3x my body weight and still run using the bq qualifier plan you guys wrote. Is this too much? I love powerlifting and can squat 2x body weight as well. I haven’t noticed any problems but is extremely heavy weight detrimental?
My weight training days tend to be on the same day I do a speed workout. I do the run first and then lift. That way I can keep my hard days hard and my easy days easy.
This is going to be great,trying to get motivated with my strength training,
Thanks
Hope you found the information helpful!
This is great Sandy, thanks!
I really want to incorporate strenght training but are afraid to do everything wrong in the gym.
Your videos are helping so much.
Thanks for the demo with the band at the waist and the stick for head and back position.
Happy to help! The band really helps me get the right motion down too.
Another good one is theraband anchored at ankle height the n stand opposite it and pull on it and do squats. Teaches shoulder blades back and down and bum to go back.
Probably the most helpful video I have found on strength training to improve running.
Very well explained
Thank you or this one Sandi! I'm starting my next marathon training block next week and looking for new ways to build speed - here it is!
Thank you! Your latest batch of videos has been so helpful. Much appreciated wisdom
Appreciate that! Thank you for watching!
This is full of great information. Thank you so much for sharing.
I was doing heavy deadlifts but not explosive like this-good tip, thanks I’ll change it up
Thanks
you look like a super fit version of Anna Kendrick
Anna Can-Fit. 💪💪💪
Like her and Emma Watson had a secret love child 🤣
I know this may not necessarily be new and current for you, but I found this very helpful as I embark on a journey to get stronger and faster. Thank you! 🙌
👌🏻Distinguishing factors of strong runners: “The force you’re applying to the ground + how quickly your muscles & tendons store & release energy.”
Raise the weight, extend rest periods, 3 reps. No fatigue, bulk or hypertrophy but build more force production
Thank you Sandi! Great video! I’m going to try this!! Also love the Topo shoes! I’m currently running in the Magnifly and Ultraventure!
Most thorough and helpful video on deadlifting I've seen. Thanks!
Thanks, David! Glad to hear you found it helpful!
Thank you. The little touches (such as how you fit this into your schedule) are especially useful, and help make this running-specific. Thanks.

Quality information here. You deserve more views.
Love this topic! Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
this is helpful. thank you
hey mike!
Totally agree - Great advice, broken down well for those that don't speak "gym" like me! Thank you!!

your videos are so informative and your vlogs are so entertaining and motivating, thank you!
Hard days hard and easy days easy. Good advice!
Strength is the biggest area I need to work on 😭 just no idea what I'm doing 😂
Thanks Sandi - this a really helpful video. My physio has recommended strength training to improve my strength and power and reduce my injuries from endurance running.
Thank you, perfect timing for me.
It is difficult to add a lot of bulk. It require calorie surplus and high rep heavy weight.
Yep bodybuilding 101
Thanks Sandi! I learn so much from your videos!
Great video. Do distance runners also need to work on their upper body? I have never seen discussions on the topic.
You have to have swing those arms for a long time, so I'd say yes. But you need to find a balance. Having too much upper body muscle mass is not advised, it's counterintuitive.
Sage is a lucky man. Thanks for the video
Very informative video, thanks!
Excellent video!

If only for injury prevention it’s worth it❣️
Thank you for this much appreciated
Great instruction!
Great info!
I think it helps for running uphill particularly, otherwise if flat and downwards terrain there's no point.
Do you offer a weight training program for runners?
Thanks for the help!
Where are those beautiful mountain at?
Solid info S
Do you have weight training and running sessions/schedules for individuals for the week?
Is there a limit to how much we should be lifting? For example, being 6 ft 4 and 220 lb light weights are too easy.

Weights always after done with running.
Is deadlift better than squats for runners ?
Rippetoe would be almost proud
No
RDL is best for long distance runners 😊
When would u cap ur strength to avoid getting too baulk if want a fast 5k? I'm 85kg and want to get to 100 just cause its a nice number. Guessing if running the goal get to a hundred then just do more reps each set till can do a thousand.
heard it for the first time that runners dont need to squat deeper than 90 degrees unless sprinters. nice.
thank you

Excellent
I just hit 3x my body weight and still run using the bq qualifier plan you guys wrote. Is this too much? I love powerlifting and can squat 2x body weight as well. I haven’t noticed any problems but is extremely heavy weight detrimental?
Bruh for distance running you dont need powerlifting. That builds fast twitch fibers. You need slow twitch endurant fibers.
*थैंक्स*
great video, keep that chin up, look up to the ceiling
I was wondering why you chose trap bar deadlifts instead of regular deadlifts.
She does both in the video.
Thank you! Can I do deadlifts with dumbells?
Of course
GRACIAS SALUDOS.MEXICO
I busted my back bending over like that. I never saw a doctor, though. I let my back heal itself. To relieve back pain, I recommend bicycling.
May I know if you are doing weight training day, do you still run on the same day or only focus on weight training
My weight training days tend to be on the same day I do a speed workout. I do the run first and then lift. That way I can keep my hard days hard and my easy days easy.
Running Wild thanks, that’s really hard training 💪🏼
How heavy should we use for the deadlifts and squats? Thank you.
Video recommends building up to 1 to 2 times your bodyweight
500 pounds
What is coach Canaday doing in your video. lol.
Dammit I hate weight training, like just let me run free baby haha. But hey you gotta do what you gotta do.
Haha! Weight training isn't a must. You can see how much just incorporating something like hill sprints 1-2x per week would help you.
Careful...Sage will get jealous of your thighs.....(kidding of course!) You sure pack tons of info-nice.
Lift Sage
Emma Watson runner version 😅
There is no such thing as bulky muscle. Muscle is muscle, fat is fat.
running is so complicated tbh
Stevo Canuck troll...
Are you reading of a script
please stop locking your knee's at the end off each deadlift you will destory your knee's over time
True. Even for heavy squats and leg press.
You are hard to understand ...talk slower and pronounce your words
Too much free time go have a baby
Great video!
Great tips!
