#47 - Yes, lifting weights is a great complement to running and not only leads to better running, but also to better overall fitness.
Many runners fear bulking up and getting too heavy, but this doesn't have to be the case.
So, what do you do? How do you get started?
My guest, Philip Pape, the host of the Wits & Weights podcast, will explain all of this to you on this entertaining and informative episode.
Philip is a very relatable person. Here is what he has to say about himself:
I was a late bloomer in the fitness game. I hit 40 and realized I had spend years - YEARS - chasing my tail with fad diets. Atkins? Been there. Paleo? Done that. Keto, intermittent fasting, CrossFit, you name it. I was the king of starting things but never finishing them.
Any my physique? It was screaming mediocrity. Let's admit it: DAD BOD.
Then 2020 hit, the year that slapped us all in the face. I took it as a sign.
I built a home gym and dove headfirst into the world of evidence-based nutrition and training. No more bro science, no more guesswork. I was all in.
I couldn't keep this to myself. So, in 2021, Wits & Weights was born.
