“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.

Time is hard to come by. Kids, work, and other commitments can get in the way. You need a plan that's easy to follow and can work around you, not the other way around.
You look "weird" when you run. You’re “not” a runner. You’re too “slow” or too "Old." We're here to tell you right here, right now, that you’re wrong. You only *think* these things because it's new and you feel uncomfortable. That'll change with consistency and time. You are a runner!
It may have been hard previously, but it doesn't have to be – now, you'll be given the tools and the knowledge to succeed. We’re doing things differently in order to see different results.
Running when you aren't ready or without the proper training can hurt, leaving you with nagging injuries that never seem to clear up. We ease you in, giving you the strength and conditioning you need to make sure your running doesn't come with pain.
