    This week on the Running Lean podcast, I’m talking about something I like to call “The Strength You Can’t See.” When we think about getting stronger as runners, we usually picture lifting weights or building bigger muscles — and while that’s definitely part of the equation, it’s not the whole story. Some of the most important strength you can build as a runner isn’t visible at all. It’s deep inside — your core, your stabilizers, your connective tissues — all the systems working quietly behind the scenes to keep you upright, balanced, and efficient. In this episode, I’m breaking down what that invisible strength really is, why it’s absolutely essential for strong, healthy running, and how to train it effectively. If you’ve ever wondered why all the little things matter so much in running — this episode will make it crystal clear.

    The post 302. The Strength You Can’t See appeared first on Running Lean with Patrick McGilvray.
