Think running is enough to get faster? Think again. In this week’s Running with James episode, we’re getting Back to the Basics with one of the most overlooked pieces of training: strength work.

We break down why runners need more than miles to perform at their best — and how strength training builds power, improves form, and helps you stay injury-free.

You’ll learn:


  • The best strength exercises for runners (and why they work)
  • How to balance lifting with running volume
  • Common mistakes that lead to fatigue or injury
  • How elite runners use strength to boost endurance and speed


From gym routines to bodyweight workouts — we’ll help you understand how to build a foundation that lasts longer than your next race season.


👉 Tune in and learn how getting stronger can actually make you a better runner.
