Strength training with Jeremy Regensburg

Kevin and Wiebke sit down with Jeremy, strength coach at Unscared CrossFit, to talk about the link between strength training and running.

Jeremy explains what strength training actually means, why it can be useful for runners, and how it can help with efficiency, resilience, injury prevention, and overall performance. The conversation covers everything from squats, deadlifts, Olympic weightlifting, sprinting, marathon training, and why runners do not need to become bodybuilders to benefit from strength work.

They also talk about how much strength training runners actually need, whether you need a gym, how to start safely, and why getting proper coaching can save a lot of time and frustration.

A useful episode for runners who want to get stronger, stay injury-free, and understand how strength training can support their running.
