“To get better, runners have to run a lot,” he says. “But for us to be able to consistently run a lot, we have to be athletes. We have to move like athletes, we have to strength train like athletes, and we have to work on injury prevention like athletes.” - Nate Helming (source)
Today's guest is Nate Helming. I have been wanting to talk to Nate for ages because he's one of few running coaches online that puts out great video content.
If you've struggled with injuries in the past and you want to become a faster, more complete runner, you'll get a lot out of this chat.
Nate Helming is based in San Francisco and in addition to coaching runners and triathletes of all levels, he trains Olympic level cyclists, professional triathletes, elite mountain bikers, and national-level ultra runners on strength and mobility.
Nate has travelled around the world to speak about better strength training for endurance athletes, and regularly publishes videos and articles on how runners can do it better.
You can learn more about Nate at The Run Experience where he helps people who want to be able to run and enjoy the outdoors and remain injury-free.
