Podcast: How to stop being afraid of strength training

by

Welcome to the first podcast of The Accidental Athlete where we have conversations with awesome people who help us discover and cultivate our inner athletes.

I’ve written about how the strength training program I started with at IMPACT Sports Performance took my running to new levels this past year. In this episode I talk with my trainer, Jim Starkey, about how strength training can help no matter how small (or big) your fitness/athletic goals and how you can get past your fears of walking into a weight room.

A sportswriter turned triathlete and distance runner, Amy Moritz became an adult-onset athlete in her 30s. While in love with the sport and all it brought her, she was nagged by a lingering question: Was she really an athlete? Through this memoir, Amy describes her own journey to defining herself as an athlete and explores why it can be so challenging for women, of all abilities, to do the same. You can buy the book (paperback or Kindle versions) on Amazon.

I'm Amy Moritz -- a sportswriter who fell into being an endurance athlete. Originally a way to get and stay healthy, I've found running (and cycling and swimming) the way in which I make sense of the world. It's helped me discover people and places both in my native 716 (a.k.a. Western New York) and around the world. Follow along with my journey and share your own. Because we all have the ability to create our own story.
