Progressing your strength training is essential if you want to keep meeting the demands of your running goals.  As you increase duration, intensity and distance in your running, if you don’t have the necessary strength and conditioning in your body, it simply won’t be able to stand up to the ever increasing demands, and thus dysfunction and injury will start to creep in.
