Jason was recently a guest on the Restoring Human Movement Podcast about:

• Strength training structure + mistakes (ideal for endurance runners)
• Why strength train in the first place?
• Protein needs for runners (age, activity, etc.)
• The type of strength training that improves running economy

Thank you to Dr. Mandy Riehl for hosting an amazing discussion!

Thank you Kila!

Kila offers the world's lightest insoles. Made with super shoe foam, they're 65-70% lighter than most orthotics and worn by elite runners like UTMB champ Tom Evans.

Go to kilarun.com and use code STRENGTHRUNNING for $50 your first pair.

Truthfully, I'm skeptical of insoles. I once had orthotics and they were heavy, they gave me blisters, and they weren't comfortable at all. Most importantly: they didn't help me.

Kila is different: lighter, more comfortable, with no doctor visits and no hassles with insurance.

All you need to do is scan your feet at home using your iPhone. It takes less than 5 minutes and Kila then uses a lab to design your insoles, build them from scratch, and ship them directly to you.

If you're already wearing insoles, Kila's are a game-changer. Level up your insole game with the lightest custom insoles on the market - no clinic markup, no visit to a specialist, and you get the benefit and comfort of super shoe foam.

Go to kilarun.com and use code STRENGTHRUNNING to upgrade your insoles and save $50 on your first pair.

Thanks Boulderthon!

Boulderthon is a top 10 race in America according to USA Today and one of the best fall marathons according to Runner's World. With a 5k, 10k, half marathon, and marathon, Boulderthon offers an amazing fall destination race weekend right at the foothills of the Rockies. Use code STRENGTH20 for $20 off the marathon or half marathon.

Join me in Boulder, one of the top running destinations in the country, on September 27th, to experience the tight knit running community here, race on the epic streets of Boulder, and finish on historic Pearl Street. While I live in Denver, I travel to boulder probably once a week to run. It's arguably one of the best running locations in the United States.

There'll probably be cool and crisp fall weather for racing fast, too. And don't worry, Boulderthon is a BQ-eligible, USA Track & Field Sanctioned Event.

Boulderthon is on track to sell out again this year so don't miss out. Use code STRENGTH20 to save $20 on the marathon or half-marathon here and I hope to see you in Boulder this fall.
