Improve Your Potential with the Push Pull Legs Strength Programming for Runners

A Simple, Effective Approach to Building Strength for Runners

Strength training for runners doesn't have to be complicated. It shouldn't be!

Many runners don't do strength training because they overcomplicate it, looking at bodybuilder workouts on Pinterest or niche workouts from influencers on Instagram.

If you stick to the basics and work to increase your weight to get stronger over time, you will get the best results—there is no need for muscle confusion or complicated programming. The basics are the best way to get results.

As a runner, your goal is to complement your running, not replace it. That's where the Push/Pull/Legs (PPL) programming comes in—a balanced, straightforward strength-training approach that targets all major muscle groups, improves running economy, and reduces injury risk.

Whether you're new to strength training or looking for a system that fits seamlessly into your running routine, push/pull/legs programming is incredibly effective and simple to implement.

What Is the Push/Pull/Legs Programming

The PPL method divides strength training into three types of repeatable workouts:

1. Push Workouts: Focus on muscles used for pushing movements—chest, shoulders, and triceps.

2. Pull Workouts: Target muscles for pulling—back and biceps

3. Leg Workouts: Strengthen the lower body—quads, hamstrings, and glutes.

By alternating these workouts, you ensure balanced muscle development, allow adequate rest between muscle groups, and reduce imbalances that often lead to injuries.

Why Push/Pull/Legs Works Well For Runners

Improves Running Economy:

Strength training enhances your efficiency by building stronger, more resilient muscles, allowing you to run faster and longer with less effort.

Reduces Injury Risk:

Strengthening muscles, tendons, and ligaments protects joints from the repetitive impact of running. Muscles stabilize joints, and strong muscles reduce injury risk.

Targets Key Muscle Groups:

The PPL programming ensures that you don't neglect any muscle groups, addressing common weaknesses like glutes, shoulders, and back strength that are vital for runners.

Fits Into a Runner's Schedule:

With five 30 sessions per week, PPL is easy to integrate into a busy training plan.

How to Structure a PPL Week FOR RUNNERS

A typical PPL week for runners might look like this:

DayWorkoutDetails

Monday: Push + core

Tuesday: Pull + core

Wednesday: Legs

Thursday: Push + core

Friday: Pull + core

Saturday: Long Run or Rest. Depending on your run training schedule

Sunday: Rest

Then, you would alternate the workouts, starting with Legs the following Monday. This schedule is for phase one. I recommend doing the same exercises for three weeks during phase I. Then, as you move into phase II, alternate the exercise to a more advanced version that works the same muscles or adjust the rep range.

Exercises for Each Category

Push + Core Workouts:

• Overhead press

• Floor or Bench Press

• Incline Push up

• Plank variation

Pull + Core Workouts:

• Deadlift

• Bent Over Row

• Inverted row or pull-up

• Around the world (core)

Leg Workouts:

• Single-leg glute bridge

• Goblet squat

• Side lunge

• Single leg deadlift

How to Progress

• Choose the Right Weight: Pick a weight that feels challenging by the last 2–3 reps. If you can easily do 4–5 more reps than the target, it's time to increase the weight.

• Track Your Progress: Keep a log of your workouts, noting the weights, sets, and reps. Aim to gradually increase the weights, sets, or number of reps over time.

Tips for Success

1. Focus on Form: Quality matters more than quantity. Proper form prevents injuries and ensures you're targeting the right muscles.

2. Rest and Recover: Allow your muscles time to repair and grow stronger. Follow your PPL workouts with proper nutrition and rest.

3. Keep It Simple: Don't overcomplicate your routine. Stick to the basics and stay consistent. If you miss workouts often, this may not be your best program.

ADAPT TO YOUR FITNESS LEVEL

The push/pull/legs program is versatile and can be adapted to suit both your schedule and fitness level while working together with a running plan.

Beginners can adapt the program to their fitness level by completing the strength workouts three days a week, alternating with running days. A three-day option is perfect for runners less experienced in the gym or those with tight schedules, as it allows you to hit each major muscle group once per week while leaving ample time for running and recovery. The three-day plan reduces the risk of overtraining and ensures that strength sessions complement rather than compete with running performance.

More advanced runners or those with more strength-training experience might choose a six-day option, performing Push-pull and leg workouts twice weekly for increased volume and progression. Ensure you allow at least one full weekly rest day.

The Push/Pull/Legs programming can be a game-changer for runners who want to build strength without overhauling their training routine. Dedicating three to six days a week for targeted strength workouts can enhance your running performance, reduce injuries, and feel stronger overall.

Beating the Winter Blues: Tips for a Brighter Season

I know, I know. It’s the most wonderful time of the year—but for this sun-loving girl, fall and winter can feel… well, blue.

I talk a lot about mindset, the importance of positive self-talk, and controlling the narrative in your mind. But when it comes to my own seasonal struggles, I realized I wasn’t taking my own advice.

Let’s call it the winter blues. While I definitely feel a shift in my well-being when the sun sets early, and the weather turns cold, it doesn’t feel severe enough to call it depression. Still, I notice how it affects my mood, energy, and motivation.

So, this year, I’ve decided to approach it differently. I’m treating it as an experiment: Can shifting my mindset and focusing on intentional habits make a difference in my winter well-being?

If you’re reading this, I’m glad you’re here. Let’s explore this journey together—I hope it helps you, too!

Beating the Winter Blues

1. Stay Present and Stop Predicting the Worst

For me, the winter blues don’t even wait for winter. As early as my late September birthday, I start dreading the cold, dark days ahead—even when it’s still 90 degrees in Texas!

The silly part? I’m worrying about something that hasn’t even happened yet. So this year, I’m focusing on staying present. If I catch myself thinking about how miserable I might feel in the future, I immediately dismiss it. Why borrow trouble?

By focusing on how I feel right now, I’ve noticed a big difference. Let’s not worry about winter before it arrives—and when it does, let’s take it one day at a time.

2. Stop Assigning Feelings to the Weather

This morning, I bundled up, leashed my dog Dale (yes, my dog is named Dale), and headed out for my daily walk. The newscaster had declared it the coldest morning of the season.

It was cold. That’s a fact. But here’s the key: I didn’t assign feelings to it.

I didn’t say, “It’s cold, and I hate it.” I didn’t sigh, “Ugh, it’s so cold.” I just acknowledged it: “It’s cold.”

Since I can’t control the weather—if I could, it’d be 80 and sunny every day—why waste energy feeling bad about it? Shifting my mindset has helped me see the cold as neutral, not negative.

3. Be Mindful of Negative Self-Talk (Even the Funny Kind)

Negative self-talk, even when it’s masked as jokes, can hold us back. I’ve caught myself making self-deprecating comments about the cold and dark—sometimes just for laughs.

But here’s the thing: Every joke I make about the end of daylight savings ruining my life reinforces the narrative that I hate winter. Instead of making jokes that keep me stuck, I’m reshaping my thoughts into something more productive.

I was so tempted to share this when I saw it on social media, but these kinds of “jokes” only reinforce a negative mindset.

4. Stick to a Healthy Routine

When I stick to a routine that includes exercise, quality sleep, and nourishing food, I feel better—no matter the season. The more I keep up with healthy habits, the easier it is to avoid a spiral of negative emotions.

If I let my bad feelings about the weather lead to skipping workouts or eating junk food, I know I’ll only feel worse. Controlling the controllables, like my routine, is one of the most effective tools I have.

5. Practice Seasonal Gratitude

Gratitude is a game-changer. Every morning, I write down three things I’m grateful for, and I try to include something seasonal.

Here’s what I’ve come up with:

• Running feels amazing in cool weather. After sweating through a triple-digit Texas summer, the crisp air is a gift for my lungs and legs.

• I love my sauna, and the cold weather gives me more excuses to enjoy it.

• Cozy clothes, warm drinks, and earlier bedtimes make winter feel comforting in its own way.

Even if the cold and dark aren’t your favorite, there’s always something to appreciate.

6. Question Your Winter Story

Here’s a thought: Do I dislike winter because that’s the story I’ve been telling myself?

I used to believe I wasn’t athletic, that I didn’t like strength training—and now those beliefs feel laughable. I’ve proven myself wrong before, so why not now?

By shifting my focus to the positives and challenging my “I’m not a winter person” narrative, can I learn to embrace the colder months? Maybe I can become a cold-weather-loving gal after all. I have to hold space that this could be true for me.

Take Action: Try a Mindset Reset

If you’re struggling with the winter blues, try this:

1. Write It Down. Jot down one thing you enjoy about the season—something small but meaningful, like warm drinks or cozy clothes.

2. Reframe Your Thoughts. The next time you notice yourself complaining about the cold, pause and reframe it. Instead of saying, “I hate this,” try thinking, “It’s cold, but I can handle it.”

3. Control the Controllable. Focus on actions you can take—whether it’s sticking to a routine, getting better sleep, or bundling up for a walk.

Experiment with these shifts and see how they work for you. Let’s navigate this season together, and who knows—maybe we’ll both come out loving winter a little more.

Hang around and find out!

Two quick announcements

Never start Over Again 6-Week Kick-Off

My next six-week kick-off program begins in January. It’s called “Never start over again” because we’ll develop the mindset and routines that allow for different seasons of life, so you never feel like you are starting over, always just moving forward, even if in small ways.

I have a one-day Black Friday sale on November 29th, for which you will pay for the hardware at only $199.

We Can Do Hard Things: Breaking Free From Limiting Beliefs

The past year has been a whirlwind of challenges, growth, and realizations. Recently, I hosted a webinar focused on navigating the holiday season while progressing toward health goals. Many people worry about gaining weight or losing progress over the holidays, so we discussed balanced ways to stay on track.

One topic that resonated with many was the idea that our identities are shaped by the stories we tell ourselves. It made me reflect deeply on the labels we assign ourselves and how they can either empower or limit us.

Breaking Down Limiting Identity Statements

In the webinar, I encouraged attendees to examine the labels they use:

• "I’m not a morning person."

• "I can’t stick to a diet."

• "I’m not good at sports."

These statements can hold us back, often without us realizing it. I noticed that I also had identity statements of my own, ones that I never questioned. For years, I labeled myself an introvert who was “better at writing than talking” and “not good on video.” But recently, I asked myself if these labels were really true—or if they only had to be true if I chose to believe them.

Stepping Outside My Comfort Zone

To challenge these ideas, I decided to push beyond my comfort zone. Over the past month, I posted short videos on YouTube daily, hosted a live webinar, appeared on a podcast, and went live on LinkedIn. It’s safe to say this was all new and daunting territory for me. Who even am I?

Surprisingly, it wasn’t as terrifying as I’d expected. No, I’m not a polished public speaker (yet), and I still have room to improve, but the positive feedback I received helped me realize that I’m not as “bad on video” as I once thought. Each experience nudged me to grow, showing me that the stories I had been telling myself were outdated and limiting.

Why Doing Hard Things Matters

Reflecting on the past year, I’ve continually stepped outside my comfort zone in small but impactful ways. Every time I’ve taken on something challenging, big or small, I’ve become a better coach and a stronger person.

When you push yourself to do hard things, even small ones, you gain confidence and open up new growth opportunities. The key is to stretch yourself just beyond where you’re comfortable, over and over, in safe and manageable ways.

A Year of Growth: Highlights and Lessons

In October 2023, I enrolled in the Precision Nutrition Master Health Coach program, a six-month journey that pushed me in ways I hadn’t expected. Every week, we participated in live sessions where we’d break out into small groups and practice coaching skills. Role-playing in front of my peers felt nerve-wracking; my heart would race every time. However, I showed up week after week, knowing that this safe environment was a valuable space to learn and grow. By the end, after an oral exam to demonstrate my coaching skills, I earned my Level 2 master health coach certification and felt renewed confidence in my coaching abilities.

Once the certification was complete, I had to log 50 coaching sessions to qualify for the national board exam. Due to time constraints, I had to ramp up quickly, completing around ten weekly sessions to meet the requirement within five weeks. Initially, I thought connecting with new people in each session would be intimidating because I’d always seen myself as someone who builds deeper connections over time. But again, it was just another story I was telling myself. I surprised myself with how naturally I connected with new clients, realizing that this “introverted” narrative was less true than I’d imagined.

The exam itself was another significant hurdle. I studied intensively for about 12 weeks, joined a study group with other coaches, and took the exam last week. While I’ll find out my results in December, I know I did my best, and I’m proud of the effort I put in to prepare.

The Physical Challenge: Running 5Ks in Texas Heat

The year wasn’t just about mental and professional challenges; there was also a physical one. I ran a 5K every Thursday at 7:30 p.m. this summer in the Texas heat. Week after week, running fast in that heat became both a physical and mental endurance test. Each race was hard, but the consistency helped me build a level of mental strength that I didn’t know I had.

A Year of Growth and Big Plans for 2025

Reflecting on all these experiences, I see how each challenge helped me grow in unexpected ways. This year has been about embracing my potential and letting go of old, limiting beliefs. From pushing through self-doubt to completing new professional milestones, it’s been a transformative journey.

I’m excited about what’s ahead. I’ve got big plans for 2025, and I can’t wait to see how the next chapter unfolds. So, stay tuned and join me in this journey of growth!

Take ACTION

Growth happens when we step outside our comfort zones and do things that challenge and stretch us. By questioning the stories we tell ourselves and taking on “hard but doable” tasks, we open up opportunities for personal and professional growth. It’s not about perfection or instant mastery; it’s about small, consistent steps that build confidence and resilience over time. Remember: you, too, can do hard things. What will you try first?

6-WEEK HOLIDAY CHALLENGE BEGINS NOV 18th

Don't miss out! The 6-Week Holiday Challenge kicks off on November 18th, so this is your last blog post reminder to join before we begin! I'm keeping the cohort small to ensure that each participant receives personalized attention and support.

If you’re ready to take control of your health this holiday season and finish the year strong, now’s the time to sign up. Let’s make this season your healthiest yet—reserve your spot today!

Leadership Meets Fitness: Lessons for Thriving in Life and Work

My friend, executive coach Briana Sharp, texted me:

"Do you want to do a LinkedIn Live with me on the intersection of health and career performance?"

Briana and I have been friends for about ten years. I'm always impressed by her business acumen and the fact that she has completed an incredible 117 half-marathons! We first met when Sweat Pink hosted Blogfest conferences for fitness bloggers, which were part of the larger IDEA World Fitness convention. We've both come a long way since then, and I loved her idea of discussing on LinkedIn how success in business and health/fitness overlap.

But my visceral response was, No way. I stepped back from my emotions for a second and texted back:

"Live? That sounds scary, so yes!"

Stepping Outside MY Comfort Zone

The worst reason to say no to an opportunity is because it sounds scary. In the past, I might have even convinced myself I had a legitimate excuse (Oh, I'd love to, but I have plans to reorganize my sock drawer!). Deep down, I would know the truth—I was avoiding discomfort. But we don't grow by staying in our comfort zones. If you never step outside of it, it remains small. If you try new things, you win or learn, expanding your comfort zone.

Going live feels scarier than writing, where I can edit until I approve of every word. In a live situation, I'm left with just my brain and mouth. Who knows what will happen?

But what's the real risk here? I stumble over some words? I don't articulate a thought as clearly as I hoped? A coworker from 20 years ago judges me unfairly (or totally fairly)? LinkedIn rises against me, and I lose every client I've ever had? Okay, not that last one. The point is, the risk wasn't as big as my imagination made it out to be.

Saying Yes and Learning from the Experience

So, I said yes. We did our LinkedIn Live, and guess what? It went fine! None of those fears materialized. I wasn't perfect, but who is? I ended the call feeling energized and alive. The lesson: You don't get better by playing it safe. You improve by doing uncomfortable things; the more you do them, the easier they become.

Fitness Success Builds Business Success

The theme of our session was that the skills, habits, and mindset you develop through fitness provide a solid foundation for business success—and vice versa. Many people think fitness is about motivation and discipline, but it's more about skills and habits. What you do consistently yields the best results.

I often work with highly successful professional women who seek help with their fitness goals. Together, we discover that the strengths they've honed in the workplace—time management, a strong work ethic, overcoming obstacles, and problem-solving—are the exact skills they need to achieve their fitness goals.

During our live session, Briana shared that one of her executive clients improved his time management at work and, as a result, gained more personal time as an unintended benefit.

Building Resilience Through Fitness

Fitness teaches us to intentionally do hard things, which builds resilience. Then, when we face hard things in business or life, we have the confidence to handle them. Whether it's lifting heavier weights in the gym, running a faster 5K, or completing a marathon, these goals help us practice perseverance, fail in a safe environment, and ultimately achieve more than we thought possible.

Improved Confidence in Fitness and Business

One benefit of improved fitness is building confidence, which translates directly to business. Building physical strength or hitting a new personal record boosts your belief in your abilities. As you progress in your fitness journey, you realize your potential, leading to increased confidence. That confidence doesn't just stay in the gym—it spills over into other areas, including your professional life.

When you feel strong and empowered physically, you're more likely to approach business challenges with the same confidence.

The Importance of a Growth Mindset

Mindset is critical to success, whether in fitness or business. Developing a growth mindset in fitness—where setbacks are learning opportunities and consistency is prioritized over perfection—helps you push through obstacles and stay focused on long-term goals. Briana discussed how she coaches that same growth mindset in the workplace.

Through fitness, I've learned that failure isn't the end. It's just part of the process. I've failed plenty of times in the gym or on the race course, but I always come back stronger. The same applies to any challenge in life or business.

So, What's Your Next Scary Step?

Success in fitness and business aren't as different as they may seem. Both require resilience, a strong mindset, and the development of consistent habits. If you're willing to step outside your comfort zone and embrace the lessons from one area of life, you'll find those lessons carry over to every other aspect.

So, what's your next "scary" step?

On November 5th, I am hosting a free workshop to help you navigate the holiday season while staying on track with your fat loss goals—without missing out on the fun! In this workshop, you'll learn practical strategies for enjoying your favorite holiday foods, managing stress, and exercising while staying focused on your health. We'll cover sustainable nutrition tips, mindset shifts for long-term success, and simple ways to keep active during the busiest time of year. Don't just survive the holidays—thrive through them! Save your spot here!

Hope to see you there!
