Strength For Endurance Podcast

The key to becoming a successful and sustainable athlete is your ability to have not only good training habits (and to maintain them), but to also have the ability to upgrade them when and where necessary. This will also be largely based upon the feedback and accountability you have on a week to week basis. Strength and conditioning provides the ultimate framework for behavioural change. This is due to it’s structure and progressive nature where you have the opportunity to ‘ plug and play’ these ‘new' behaviours at will. What behaviours do you have that you know if changed or upgraded would allow you to become a better athlete, suffer with fewer injuries or improve your overall health?

In todays client hotseat we hear from Martin who has been looking to run long for a number of years but who has been constantly held back with reoccuring episodes of serious back pain. Over the last 6 months he has completely committed to not only improving his mobility and the range of motion through his hips and lower back but also increasing his base levels of strength and power alongside his run volume. When working with these types of injuries progress is never linear and the key to success has been the accountability and feedback between athlete and coach. Thanks to Martin for sharing his journey, we look forward to seeing what's next...! Keep up to date with my recent coaching insights - here  P.S.

The inspiration for todays podcast conversation came when talking to a current client who is moving on from his recent 70.3 performance and is now looking at tackling an 11 mile swim event along the length of Lake Windermere. Now as a swimmer (before anything else), SFE client Nathan isn't phased by this next endurance endeavour, however we've also discussed how he can't go into this being complacent. As a result there are specific areas of his training that we need to become 'Hyper Specific' with, as the shear demands on his body have now changed. Join us as we discuss the importance of being able to adapt your programming to your desired goals. Keep up to date with my recent coaching insights - here  P.S.

We're very grateful to be able to share Miles's story with you this week. A very talented runner who came to us after a plague of achilles issues and back pain. Fed up with the endless cycle of injury treatment, which although provided temporary relief, was expensive, painful and short term. Miles knew that he had to find a long term solution if he was to get back to performing at his best and enjoying his running again. Through his dedicated approach and open mindset, we worked on a strength and conditioning program that identified his deficiencies, retrained his loading patterns and improved his movement efficiency. Miles shares his journey through pain, injury and rehab and how he's noticed a new level of strength that enables him to turn up session after session with confidence.

How well do you recover? Whether it's training consistently from week to week, or pulling up after a race or big weekend adventure. We’ve all been there and unfortunately it’s all too common to hear about how broken people are following a big session - almost like a badge of honour, the more soreness the harder you went. But how much better would it be to have the ability to walk away from a significant training session or race feeling good, with minimal soreness and be able to continue on with daily life with minimal impact. So how can we improve our ability to rebound and recover? How can we avoid having a week where you’re hobbling about? Listen in to todays podcast episode to find out more.

In todays episode we share a recent check-in call Kriss had with SFE athlete Maria. With consistent age group winning performances across the board, Maria is testament to the hard work she puts in. But when a knee meniscal injury derailled her performance last year it's been an interesting (yet successful) journey through recovery. Maria shares with us just how valuable she finds being accountable to someone, the importance of celebrating the small wins that we often take for granted and the power of positive self talk in the hardest of times.

As athletes we will all at some point be faced with uncertainty or moments where we question "Am I good to go on?” or "Is my body capable of this?" and unfortunately for many this will be a gamble. But for those of who have directed specific, purposeful and progressive work into building the necessary S&C foundations, they will have the knowledge and confidence that they need to answer these questions with clarity. Our endurance training alone is unable to give us the 'fore-warning' that a strength program can. By having clear metrics and the ability to test our body before we put ourselves back into high volume, high intensity environments we can make calculated decisions that’ll prevent unnecessary backward steps in our progress.

Whether it’s a job that has you on your feet for really long days? A stressful work environment that peaks at specific times throughout the year or lifestyle responsibilities and hobbies that mean you actually don’t sit down very much….if you’re also trying to fit in a large volume of training throughout the week, something is going to eventually break. Any of these could be impacting your training and performance more than you think and whilst it’s unlikely (and probably unnecessary) that you’re going to make drastic changes like a career change, not walking the dog, doing the gardening or being a parent etc, your training and S&C can be manipulated so that you start seeing fewer injuries, illnesses and frustrating plateaus in performance. If this sounds like you, how do you deal with it? How do you slow down the endless "hamster wheel” you feel like you’re spinning? Keep up to date with my recent coaching insights - here  P.S.

We are all curious about our athletic potential, whether it be our first 5k or first 100miler. To be able to achieve these goals we know that we are likely going to have to make some behavioural changes to our current lifestyle. To do the 'extraordinary' we know that we are going to have to go beyond what we currently know, and many are happy to do this with their training volume and intensity. However the weekly conversation that you should be having with yourself is whether you are making extraordinary changes with your nutrition, recovery and strength and conditioning to reach these goals.

Warm Ups. We all know we should be doing them, but when we're rushing out the door or catching up with training partners before a session they are easy to skip or rush through. Some of you might be embarassed doing them if no-one else is or you simply don't know what you should be doing. The fact of the matter is a good warm up (which could only be several minutes) will define the quality of your training sessions. So what should they look like? How long? Do you need equipment? Listen in to todays podcast as Kriss shares his thoughts and tips. Keep up to date with my recent coaching insights - here  P.S.
