Ep 7. The Strength Project: nutrition

Welcome to the 7th episode of the Strength Project, a limited series from the makers of The Women’s Running Podcast. I’m Esther, and she’s Holly, and we are here to help! We all know that we should be strength training these days, but it’s so confusing figuring out where to start. So we’ve put together a series designed to cut through the jargon, answer your questions AND get you fitter and stronger as a result. The two of us will be here every week on a Wednesday, assisted by the gorgeous Kate, our resident PT and strength coach who can answer all the questions we can’t. If you have any more questions, or you’d just like to drop us a line, we would love to hear from you at wrpodcast@anthem.co.uk Nutrition In our 7th episode, we’re talking about food! What can we eat to support our training? Do we all need to be drinking protein shakes now? As ever we chat to Kate at the end of the episode to answer your strength questions. Your homework this week sounds intriguing: it’s the disgustingly named (but incredibly effective) Dead Bug. We talk through best form, and all you need to do to progress this exercise to get a core of steel. To help you get stronger this summer, we’ve got a brilliant deal on Women’s Running magazine.
