Strength and Conditioning Within a Periodized Plan
Strength and conditioning is vital for endurance athletes, not just bodybuilders.
Benefits include:
  • Improved running economy/power output.
  • Reduced injury risk.
  • Enhanced fatigue resistance.
  • Better bone density.
It should be periodized, with different focuses (e.g., general strength in base, sport-specific power in build, maintenance in-season).
