I Added Strength Training to My Slow Running — The Results Shocked Me

For six years, I refused to lift weights. I was convinced that anything that wasn't running would just slow me down. Then I hit a wall — my MAF pace flatlined for over a year. So I did something I never thought I'd do: I started strength training. And the results genuinely shocked me. In this video, I share my 4-month experiment combining strength training with Maffetone slow running — the ugly first month, the data from my MAF tests, and the 15 seconds per kilometer I gained at the same heart rate. If you're a runner over 40 and you've been ignoring strength training, this one's for you.
