    Why on earth did someone woo me over saying that strength training is important to prevent injury? I’m talking basic body weight squats and core work to ensure you have adequate muscle definition in the areas you use while running. It’s not like I said you need to do some sort of rain dance to ensure a good run. How is that woo-worthy?

    Some people see the "woo" as "WooHoo!!!".

    I happen to agree on the weight training for better running. Years ago (early 20's), I decided to start running and everything hurt. Fast forward 20 years later, lost a bunch of weight, did 1 year slow recomp, started lifting....now I'm slowly getting back into running.... No pain, no soreness, just working on endurance (still can't jog 2 miles in a row, but I'm getting there).
