Strength For Endurance Podcast

We often get asked "What's the best exercise for XXX ?" which is a pretty difficult question to answer given the thousands of exercises there are to choose from. The truth is, this question is all based upon the individual and what they need to work on. Selecting your exercises actually comes after the results of your screening and testing process. What we've done in todays episode is broken the body down and given you what we deem as the best 'bang for your buck' exercises depending upon what it is you need to work on.

This week we look at the race taper. A phase of training in any competing athletes schedule that needs to be considered, practice and can often take some fine tuning to master. We discuss how S&C can be utilised in the lead up to a race to keep your body in a state of readiness whilst lowering overall training load and intensity and what your taper program should look like? Kriss mentioned the squat mobility drill during the podcast, which you can see here: https://youtu.be/Tg86Yr2bpF4 Keep up to date with my recent coaching insights - here  P.S.

We’re just a few days away (Sunday 19th March) from the official launch of our Strength for Endurance Fundamentals Training Course. The first of it's kind and we're so excited to bring this to you all. So, what is it all about? Whether you’re a Coach, Personal Trainer or Health Professional, this course is going to transform the way you work with your clients, define the success you have and most definitely change the approach you have with your own training. Many of you understand the principles of strength and conditioning but are you able to apply it to an endurance athlete who is works full time and is training upwards of 15-20 hours a week already? How do you integrate a strength program into a schedule where there is seemingly no more time for anything else? Are you confident applying progressive overload to an individual but in a way that doesn’t take anything from their swim, bike, run disciplines? These are just a few of the questions that you’ll be able to answer after working through the Fundamentals Course. Giving you the much needed knowledge and practical understanding of how to keep the endurance athletes you work with injury free and performing at their best.

This week Kriss caught up with not one but two highly successful and experienced athletes. Both Olympic Triathletes in their own right, they are a force to be reckoned with and seem to be mastering the art of training and racing with juggling family life and two small children. Kriss met Brad and Radka (Kahlefeldt) whilst living and training in Lennox Head near Byron Bay back in 2014. But fast forward 8-9 years and alot has changed. Long gone are the mid ride coffee stops and chilled recovery days, it’s all about maximising time and being efficient, as anyone with small children will know. It’s inspiring to hear how these two manage everything, did we mention they are doing all this alongside running a very successful swim school business? Brad & Radka kindly share their secrets to fitting it all in, how they value their gym work as they get older, the tips and tricks they have learnt along the way and how important it is to be setting a good example for their two girls.

Whether you're returning from an injury, returning to exercise after having a baby or something else that has you on a journey back to fitness and performance, it can be really hard to stay on track. Comparison and external input from the media, peers or competitors can easily trigger us into thinking we should be doing things sooner, faster or heavier. But for those who have made the mistake of rushing their return to training and performance before, they'll tell you it's not worth it. Kriss highlights some top tips that he uses with clients on a weekly basis from being patient, to trusting the process and resisting the distractions around you.

An insightful and thought provoking discussion this week with Sports and Performance Nutritionist Paul Booth.

You love to run. Whether it's on the road, track or trails, from 5k to 100miles or more, running plays a huge part in your life.
