Today Stuart and Katie had the opportunity to talk with Michael Adeniran, who is a weekend warrior as they call it. A while back he got into running, and then triathlons, ultra running, iron mans, Spartan races, obstacle courses, and so forth. He’s got a lot of experience now with all these different events and with that, a substantial amount of wisdom to share with us and our listeners.
“The more you get into the running life, you seem to stop doing as much strength training, and that’s where the injuries start happening. I remember in the early days of running, I didn’t have any injuries whatsoever, but that’s because I was more a strength trainer doing some running, but as I’ve become a runner doing a little bit of strength training, you see the differences in your body strength, and imbalances that come.” 29:15
