Today on the Strength Running Podcast, a new behind-the-scenes coaching call with my client Brandon!
Brandon has experienced tremendous progress in the last four years. A former high school cross country and track athlete, he took most of his 20’s off from running but rededicated himself to the sport in his 30’s.
The only problem? He didn’t feel great.
He felt like his stride was off, he had a few imbalances, and a nagging case of IT Band Syndrome was hurting his ability to train harder. But Brandon had big goals and wanted to turn the ship around before he hit 40 and become a Master’s Runner.
Flash forward two years: Brandon has resolved his ITBS, fixed the imbalances plaguing his stride, and set Personal Records in four separate race distances.
Brandon is thriving.
How Brandon Set 4 PR’s & Got Healthy
In this episode, we discover how Brandon made it all happen.
The first step is to recognize that something needs to change. Once you realize that your current training isn’t optimal, that recognition lets you take action and move forward with a new, better plan.
Brandon chose to get a custom running plan and our High Performance Lifting program. He fully dedicated himself to improving his fitness and becoming a stronger, healthier, faster runner.
We discuss:
- What his training was like before he made this transformation
- How he changed his approach to running for the better
- The distances that he set PR’s in
- The most important lessons he’d tell you if you want to improve

Thanks Boulderthon!
Boulderthon is a top 10 race in America according to USA Today and one of the best fall marathons according to Runner’s World. With a 5k, 10k, half marathon, and marathon, Boulderthon offers an amazing fall destination race weekend right at the foothills of the Rockies. Use code STRENGTH20 for $20 off the marathon or half marathon.
Join me in Boulder, one of the top running destinations in the country, on September 28th, to experience the tight knit running community here, race on the epic streets of Boulder, and finish on historic Pearl Street. While I live in Denver, I travel to boulder probably once a week to run. It’s arguably one of the best running locations in the United States.
There’ll probably be cool and crisp fall weather for racing fast, too. And don’t worry, Boulderthon is a BQ-eligible, USA Track & Field Sanctioned Event.
Boulderthon is on track to sell out again this year so don’t miss out. Use code STRENGTH20 to save $20 on the marathon or half-marathon here and I hope to see you in Boulder this fall.
Thank you to 2XU!
If you haven’t tried 2XU technical compression gear, you’re missing out. 2XU has been the world leader in performance compression for 20 years, helping runners feel better and recover faster with compression gear that’s backed by scientific evidence. Their graduated compression gear is engineered to improve blood flow and performance while speeding recovery.
My personal favorites include the Light Speed React half-tights (with tons of pockets for your phone and fuel!) as well as their Ignition Shield tights (for colder weather).
Knowing that their gear is engineered for runners by runners and backed by research makes me absolutely love 2XU. Go to 2xu.com and use code “JASON” in all caps to get 20% off sitewide, except clearance items or wetsuits.
