Strength training has many benefits for runners like improved running performance, reduced risk of injuries and better health. There are many ways to get stronger and reap all of the benefits, however, not all strength training is created equal. What methods of strength training you choose will depend on your goals, lifestyle, preferences and the amount of time you can dedicate to it.

When it comes to improving your health and fitness, how you structure your day is one of the key elements. Losing weight comes down to creating a sustained caloric deficit that will force your body to start burning its own fat for fuel. By having a good structure that encourages healthy behavior and habits, creating a caloric deficit becomes much easier.

Whatever your health and fitness goals are, nutrition needs to be properly designed and individualized to you and your goals. For optimal health and well-being this means consuming all the micronutrients (I.e. vitamins and minerals) and macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates and fat) that your body needs to function best.  

​When setting up your health and fitness goals, it is essential that you figure out your “why.” We are not talking here about superficial “why” like for example “I want to lose weight.”

​Before you start your health and fitness journey, it is really important to set appropriate goals and come up with a plan. This is an important process not just for fitness goals, but for other areas of your life as well like business, relationships, finances, etc. to edit.
