This week, we're joined by specialist running physio and strength coach, Aidan O’Flaherty (aka the Irish Physio on Instagram) to find out exactly why we need to be strength training as runners and what we should be doing to not only stay injury free, but to get faster too. There are tonnes of tips from Aidan on when to hit the gym, how often and what to do, plus we tackle the misconception that lifting weights will make you bulky! Aidan shares lots of very helpful videos on his Instagram and YouTube channel too, so check out his pages ahead of your next gym session!
