Dr Alyssa Olenick: The ultra runner and powerlifter on how you can get faster and stronger at the same time

  • Summary

  • The fitness industry loves to declare one method as "the best" way to achieve specific goals. Spend any time on social media, and you'll quickly encounter phrases like "this is the best way to lose fat" or "this is the only way to build muscle." For years, we've been told that it's nearly impossible to train for multiple fitness goals at once. The most common myth? "You can't build bigger muscles and train to run faster simultaneously." This kind of thinking forces people into a single choice - or worse, leads them to do nothing at all.

    But the truth, like many things in life, isn't so black and white. Just ask renowned exercise physiologist Dr Alyssa Olenick, who isn’t your typical white-coated lab rat but a serious athletic performance powerhouse competing as both an ultra-marathon runner and an accomplished powerlifter.

    In our Unfiltered conversation, Dr Olenick shatters these long-standing training myths with science-backed advice, showing you how to build muscle size, strength and power whilst also improving your cardiovascular health, function and performance at the same time. Whether you’re looking to get stronger, run or ride faster, or just improve your overall health and wellbeing, she has cracked the code to fast-track your results.

    Dr Olenick also delves into the most important training protocols for women of all ages, including those navigating peri-menopause and post-menopause. She explains why weightlifting should feature in all women’s workout plans for the crucial role of strength and resistance training plays in maintaining lean muscle mass, managing weight, improving metabolic health, supporting bone density and more. Her advice isn’t just about working out and how to train smarter; it’s about building a sustainable, healthy lifestyle that empowers you at any stage of life - for the rest of your life.
