Episode 38: How to Maintain Strength and Muscle While Race Prepping Without Interference
The fear is always the same going into race prep: ramp up the running and watch the strength and muscle disappear. In this episode I break down why that outcome isn't inevitable. Most of the loss people experience during race prep comes down to dropping lifting frequency too far and under fuelling, not the running itself. I walk through how to sequence lifting and running in the same week, how to manage intensity so you're maintaining rather than chasing PRs, how fuelling changes on heavy tr...

Two lifts a week can maintain what you've got. It can't build it — not while you're carrying that k...
