Jackson's main area of research is on a subject called concurrent training. You might not have heard of concurrent training but it's something you are probably doing….without being aware of it. It is when you do some form endurance training and strength training in your training routine. If you lift weights and run or you class yourself as a runner who occasionally lifts weights, that's a form of concurrent training. There are a lot of myths about doing the two. We discussed if cardio will ruin your gains and if you do strength training, will it make you run slower or get too bulky? We talked about the benefits of doing both, if we should do them in the same session, if we should do one before the other.
