🏃♀️💪 Should you lift before or after a run? Here’s the truth ⬇️
Many runners skip strength training — but it’s the missing link for:
✨ Preventing injuries
✨ Running faster & more efficiently
✨ Building resilience for long-term performance
So when’s the best time to strength train?
✅ If running is your priority → Run first, lift after
✅ If building strength is your focus → Lift first
✅ Best option → Separate sessions (AM run, PM lift)
🔑 Aim for 2x/week of compound moves like squats, deadlifts, lunges & core stability work.
👉 Strength work doesn’t just make you stronger — it makes you a BETTER runner.
