Talking Strength Training for Runners with Kameron Harder, PT, DPT, OCS

About this episode

Dylan Belles discusses the importance of strength training for runners with physical therapist Kameron Harder.

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend, Kameron Harder, a physical therapist, endurance athlete, and someone who spends a lot of time helping athletes stay healthy and perform better. We get into the role strength training should actually play in a runner’s routine. We talk about why it matters, how it helps reduce injuries, and what it can do for your performance if you approach it the right way.
