Jason Fitzgerald Thanks so much for having me. Brett Mc. Kay You are a long distance runner, competitive yourself, you also coach other long distance runners. You have a site called Strength Running. What I love about your approach to running Youve written content for our site about strength training and running, preventing injuries during running and training for obstacle course racing. What I love about you is you emphasize strength training and running, unlike a lot of other Sometimes I feel like runners overlook the importance of strength. Well get into the details of strength training and how you incorporate that into a running program. Lets do some defense here. There are some people who dont like running, long distance running, and Ill admit Im one of those guys. I like to sprint, I like doing obstacle course racing but the idea of running a 1. K, a marathon, I dont know if I want to do that. What do you think are some of the reasons that people hate running or think they hate runningJason Fitzgerald Good question. Ill be the first one to say that I didnt always like running either. I was the kid in middle school during track and field week that was throwing the shotput and trying to do the 1. I tried to avoid it at every opportunity. It definitely is a learned passion. I think a lot of people dont like running because they dont give it a chance. Just like any sport it takes a few months to acclimate and get used to it and become proficient enough at it where every single run is not a struggle. Imagine if youre a strength athlete, Brett, you go into the gym, someone whos never lifted before, and you try to do a clean and jerk. You probably arent going to be very good at it, youre probably going to hurt yourself if you put too much weight on there and its not going to happen. I think a lot of people take that same principle and try to apply it to running. Navalha Na Carne Filme. They go for a couple of runs and then they try to run a 5. K or a 1. 0K and they realize, wow, this is a lot harder than it seems and I dont know if I like it. The other thing that I see all the time is that runners try to make running too hard. They dont have a purpose to their training, theyre not very strategic and most of the runs end up being either hard or this moderate effort where they dont have any easy runs, they dont have any recovery runs and without that balanced approach theyre destined to either get hurt or get overtrained. Theres a lot of problems that come with making running harder than it has to be. With all that said I am not in the business of getting people to like running.
