Your joints are screaming, your mileage is climbing, and every run feels like a coin flip between progress and injury. Here's the thing most runners get wrong: you can't fix a running problem by just running more. This episode breaks down exactly how strength training, plyometrics, and running drills prepare your body to handle more volume without breaking down.

In this episode:

• Why ramping up running volume is the most common time runners get hurt, and what actually causes the pain in the first place
• The research on strength training and running injuries
• How plyometrics build your tissue tolerance for the forces you absorb with every single stride
• Why changing your running form mid-run is riskier than you think, and what to do instead
• The specific lifting, jumping, and drill work I program for my clients before and during a volume ramp
• How to start with two lifting sessions per week and progressively build without tanking your running performance
• Two free resources you can download today and use this week: a 4-week strength training plan for runners and a 6-day hybrid training sample
