I’ve just uploaded something I’m really proud of — a full presentation on Strength & Conditioning for Runners. As both a coach and a parent of young runners, I’ve seen how adding S&C into training can completely change performance, running economy and injury resilience. This video breaks down: ✅ The key physical demands of running (800m ➜ marathon) ✅ Why lifting weights won’t make you slower — it makes you more efficient ✅ The main exercise categories runners should focus on ✅ How to avoid the common overuse injuries (hips, knees, ankles) ✅ How to balance running + strength training week to week 🎥 Watch it here: https://youtu.be/nNZtW3l4Xk0?si=aNBaYsGV3oYWQr43 The goal is to help more runners (and parents/coaches) feel confident about lifting — and understand why it matters for performance and longevity. I’d love your thoughts on it 👇 💭 What’s one takeaway you got from the video? 💬 Do you already include S&C in your week, or is it something you’ve been putting off? — Aaron

I’ve been working on something new called The Mobility Reset! A simple 5 day challenge focused on improving flexibility, recovery and posture using foam rolling and stretching for just 10 minutes a day. Before I release it fully, I’d love a few of you to trial it with me next week and give some feedback. It’s designed around 5 key areas most people struggle with: 1️⃣ Calves 2️⃣ Quads 3️⃣ Adductors 4️⃣ Lats 5️⃣ Chest If you’re up for testing it out (completely free obviously ☺️), drop a 🙌 or “I’m in!” below and I’ll send you the details. Let’s see how much looser we can get in 5 days 🔥 Aaron
