🎙️ Can runners really have it both ways - mileage and strength? In this episode, Rochelle dives into the endurance side (run load, economy, hills, drills, long run structure) while Kate breaks down the strength science (capacity, tendon and bone health, plyos, eccentric prep, smart scheduling).

Together, we show how these two worlds don’t compete — they complete each other. From injury prevention and performance gains, to hill resilience and weekly planning, we break down how load and capacity marry up in the real world.

We wrap it up with some rapid-fire myth busting:
 💥 Does lifting make you bulky?
 💥 Should you ever strength train on rest days?
 💥 Is soreness the sign of progress?

This one’s all about building the runner who can go the distance - stronger, faster, and more resilient.
