Debunking Common Myths

Myth: “You can’t do running and fitness at the same time.”

This is a classic myth of concurrent training. With smart programming, you can absolutely do both. The key is to periodize your training and manage volume and intensity. Done correctly, strength training will improve your running, and your running will support your strength, creating a powerful, well-rounded athlete.

Myth: “Lifting heavy weights makes you slow.”

Lifting heavy weights, especially with explosive movements, increases power and fast-twitch muscle fiber recruitment. This is crucial for explosive sprints and powerful climbs, making you faster, not slower.

Myth: “Strength training is just for bodybuilders.”

While it’s central to bodybuilding, strength training is a fundamental component of all athletic performance. From professional soccer players to weekend cyclists, athletes use strength training to gain an edge and prevent injuries.
