Millburn, New Jersey, United States
I've been working as a strength coach for over 15 years. Was trained by the best in New York City during the mid-80's. Worked with celebrities, wanna-bes, has-beens, never-wases, the beautiful people, the really beautiful people, the ugly people. Now I'm in the 'burbs working with regular folk. Over my career I've conducted over 30,000 private training sessions and countless thousands of additional hours working with teams at the high school and college level.

There is a wealth of data that shows weight-training has a wide-range of positive effects on distance running performance, with Running Economy at the top of the list of running-related improvements. But before I get into the nuts and bolts of a weight-training program for distance runners, I need you to be able to wrap your minds around the concept of Running Economy, and that it can be improved as a result of neural and muscular adaptations. |

 Sometimes I really do feel bad about always expecting the worst when I’m about to start reading a new diet and/or exercise book, but after a second or two this feeling passes. After reading Winning by Losing, by Jillian Michaels of Biggest Loser fame, my “expect-the-worst” attitude is really vindicated. This book has been out for a while - Michaels has just released a new book – but you can judge a fitness personality’s body of work by his or her “signature” book, in which their overall philosophy is revealed.

Recent research indicates that isolation strength training – training muscle groups individually - is responsible for adaptations that can lead to altered neuromuscular control, which in turn increases stress on the ACL knee ligament during functional activities.
What this means, in plain English, is that isolation strength training – exercises like the bench press, leg press, pull downs, leg extensions and leg curls where the equipment provides stability – is not appropriate for anyone preparing for an athletic activity, and actually can contribute to injury.

There are times when I really can’t stand the thought of exercising. Right now is one of those times. If any of you have ever felt this way, you’re not alone and there is nothing wrong with you.
This may sound like a completely negative attitude to have towards the activity that is my profession. However, I’m only human and sometimes the prospect of working out fills me with dread and exercise can be the most unappealing part of my day. |
