Listen in on a Team Strength Running coaching call, where Jason takes questions from the community about training, long runs, workout strategy, and more.

To join one of these calls, join the team here.

We discuss:

• Long run strategy (related podcast with David Roche!)
• The value of lifting heavy weights (start here)
• How to balance speed and mileage

Thank you for listening and supporting the podcast!

Thank You Lever!

I'm excited to partner with Lever - a bodyweight support system that helps you run further or faster with less effort and injury risk.

You've probably seen pro runners using Lever - it attaches to any treadmill and you hook into it like a harness. It effectively makes you lighter, enabling you to run more volume than you normally could with reduced injury risk, run faster with less effort, or return to running after an injury more effectively.

Lever allows you to do more running with less risk. From building mileage, introducing faster workouts, aiding your return to running after a break, Lever has a place in every phase of training. The pro's have been using Lever for years, giving them the advantage of more training with fewer injuries.

They're also common in physical therapy offices. Because you can run with less body weight, you can gain fitness and practice good technique without risking your recovery.

Go to levermovement.com and use code Strength20 for 20% off any system (and that's with a capital S). If you're injury-prone or are looking to take a big swing at your goals this year, now is the time for Lever. That's levermovement.com with code Strength20 for 20% off any system.

After resisting most supplements for the better part of my life, I know as a Masters runner that I need to be my healthiest self for as long as possible. I'm excited to partner with Previnex to make that happen.

Previnex is different: they use the most bioavailable, clinically tested ingredients, the optimal form and dose of each ingredient, pharmaceutical grade manufacturing, and testing of raw ingredients AND finished products. For every purchase you make, they also donate vitamins to kids in need.

Their new Muscle Health Plus is something I'm now taking (as well as Joint Health+). Turning 40 – and having a thin frame – has made me realize that I need to prioritize lean muscle mass to stay healthy and age well. Muscle Health Plus has creatine, essential and branched chain amino acids, and it's designed in a way to maximize protein synthesis and the absorption of amino acids.

Muscle Health Plus will help you prevent muscle damage, which is particularly important for aging runners who want to protect themselves from muscle loss and recover faster after hard workouts. As is true for all of their products, Previnex adheres to the highest of standards: their ingredients are clinically proven to do what they say they're going to do.

They're now offering international shipping so if you live in the UK, Canada, Australia, or anywhere around the world, you can try Previnex as well!

Previnex offers a 30-day money back guarantee. If you don't feel the benefits of their product, you get your money back no questions asked. With their focus on quality and customer satisfaction, I hope you'll try it!
