Season 2 of Running to the Castle Podcast w/ Dr. Ali Marty

Episode 99 Can strength training too much hurt you? runDisney Races

In this episode of Running to the Castle, you'll learn why more strength training isn't always better for injury prevention in runDisney runners. 

You'll discover how overdoing it with weights, repetitions, or frequency can lead to overuse injuries, just like brushing your teeth too much can harm enamel. 

Key signs you're overtraining include constant soreness, lack of progress, and joint swelling. 

The episode covers how to test appropriate weights, track progress during the build phase, and why strategic, balanced strength training beats simply doing more.
