Strength training is no longer optional for endurance athletes.
Benefits for runners, cyclists, and swimmers:

• Improves running economy and power output.
• Reduces injury risk by strengthening supporting muscles and connective tissues.
• Enhances fatigue resistance and muscular endurance.
• Can improve sprint performance and finishing kicks.

"Stronger muscles mean a more resilient and efficient engine."
