How to Incorporate Strength Training and Running

Season 1 Episode 56 of Running to the Castle Podcast w/ Dr. Ali Marty

In this episode of Running to the Castle I outline how to incorporate strength training and running when you’re training for a runDisney race.

When you’re training for a race it is safe (and recommended) to strength train, too.

Listen to the episode to learn whether you should strength train before or after you run.

Other topics I talk about include when to start new strength exercises, add more weight or resistance, strength train on long or short run days, and strength train on rest days or not.

Hi! I’m Ali. I’ve been in the health and wellness space since graduating with a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in 2012. I worked in the typical outpatient clinic with active men and women with orthopedic injuries (shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, muscle and ligament tears, knee pain, IT Band pain, plantar fasciitis, and hip and knee arthritis until 2018 at which point I started Mobile Physical Therapy in Las Vegas, Nevada. Over the past few years I’ve transitioned to helping women running runDisney races after they’ve had an injury and they want to finish strong and enjoy the rest of their runcation.
