Most women aren’t training for longevity — even when they think they are. They’re training for short-term results: 30-day programs. Quick transformations. Urgency-driven workouts that don’t hold up over time. This episode is about women’s strength training for longevity — not aesthetics, not punishment, and not chasing intensity. Instead, it focuses on protecting future capacity so your body continues to support your life as you age. In this episode, you’ll learn: 🖤 Why bodies adapt over years, not weeks 🖤 How muscle mass protects independence, balance, and resilience in women 🖤 Why strength training is essential for bone density and joint health 🖤 How overtraining shortens longevity — and why restraint extends it 🖤 The Decade Test: a simple way to choose training styles that support your future 🖤 Why the real goal of fitness is keeping options open, not performing forever If you care about: 🖤 Strength training for women 🖤 Longevity and aging well 🖤 Building muscle after 30 🖤 Bone density and joint health 🖤 Sustainable fitness without burnout Then this episode is for you!

This is it. Twelve weeks of training. Long runs. Strength sessions. Early mornings. Fuel. Recovery. Self-doubt. Progress. And now there is only one thing left to do: Race.
You're TWO WEEKS away from your half marathon. And suddenly you're questioning everything. Did I train enough? Was my longest run long enough? Why do my legs feel terrible? Should I run this week? Should I carb load? How many gels do I need? Can I walk? What if I can't sleep? What if everyone starts faster than me? And the biggest question of all... What if I can't finish?
You've spent weeks training for your half marathon. And now that race day is getting closer... Your training plan is telling you to do less.
You’ve been training for weeks. You’re running further. You’re lifting weights. You’re fueling properly. You’re recovering better. So why aren’t you getting faster every week? And if your pace hasn’t changed… is your training actually working? In Episode 10 of the SLAY Stronger Runner Series, Olympian, coach and SLAY founder Louise Hazel explains why pace is only one measure of running progress, and why you could be becoming a significantly better runner without seeing a dramatic change on your watch.
You’re training for 13.1 miles. But does that mean you actually need to run 13.1 miles before race day? And if you haven't… how can you possibly know you'll finish?
