186: HIIT or Heavy Weights: What Makes You A Better Runner?

HIIT or heavy weight lifting - which one is better for runners? That’s the question we’re answering in this week’s episode of The Running Channel Podcast. Both types of training have their benefits, but which one can actually help you become a stronger, faster and more efficient runner? This week, Andy, Rick and Sarah break down HIIT and heavy weight lifting, exploring what each type of exercise does to your body, how it can impact your running, and whether one comes out on top. The Running Channel Podcast tackles one big topic each episode, amongst helpful tips and light-hearted chat on the latest news in the running world. Hosted by Sarah Hartley (amateur runner) and Andy Baddeley (former pro runner) alongside Rick Kelsey (recovering runner), the TRC Podcast is friendly, jargon-free, and the perfect accompaniment to your runs.
