We all know that we should be strength training these days, but it’s so confusing figuring out where to start. So we’ve put together a series designed to cut through the jargon, answer your questions AND get you fitter and stronger as a result.

Over the next 10 weeks we will tackle a different topic, from why we should be strength training in the first place to how to get started in the gym and everything in-between.

PT Kate will be answering common strength questions, and we will be introducing one simple move each week. All of these will add up to a full-body workout you can from home (or the gym!).

Keep your eyes and ears peeled through the Women’s Running Podcast and our new ‘Strength Project’ series, our Youtube Channel and our dedicated Strength Edit Newsletter.
