Strength for Runners: part 2 of 3 Building Strength

I introduce my different programs and give a brief overview of what they look like. Part 2 and 3 will be a deeper delve into what I believe works best for programming for strength for runners and strength for powerlifters. I will explain what I do, and also why I do it! _________ Follow me on IG @megscanlift For coaching options, my blog, and email check out www.megscanlift.com
