183: Why Should Runners Strength Train?

Episode #183

Runners tend to fall into two categories when it comes to strength training, love or hate.  While some runners cherish strength days to feel stronger and tone their body, others would much rather be logging some extra miles.  In this episode, we talk about the dangers of both camps and why understanding the benefits can improve all of our relationships with strength days.
