An insightful and thought provoking discussion this week with Sports and Performance Nutritionist Paul Booth. Paul has a wealth of knowledge and experience from not only his research and lecturing background but his own notable ultra endurance achievements. Our conversation covered a range of topics including fuelling strategies over different length races, the consequences of both underfuelling and overfuelling during ultra racing, gut issues, REDS, fasted training, glycogen training and protein timing. Highly recommend tuning in to this episode for some great takeaways, whatever your goals are over the coming year.

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. So naturally you'll want to do everything you can to keep running and running as well as possible. Unfortunately this is where many fall short. Being ill-prepared and under conditioned has you struggling with recurring injury or not being able to reach the time or distance you're aiming for and the common reason for this is not knowing when or how to bring strength & conditioning into your training week alongside your run sessions, something we know a thing or two about here at SFE.

There are so many 'promises' or 'guarentees' made at this time of year, whether it's by someone else or promises you make to yourself, but as we all know many New Year resolutions last a few weeks, at best a month or so, and then the motivation drops off and the old habits creep back in. So we wanted to start the year, by highlighting what it REALLY takes to get the results you're after. What does it take to get achieve a sustainable level of strength and fitness, is it realistic to stay injury free? and more importantly can you manage to maintain your health at the same time?

There can be so much frustration when it comes to trying to return to running, with constant little setbacks appearing every time you try to up the mileage or increase the intensity. This is so often the case due to most only focussing on one or two areas of injury rehab, run training or recovery, with little to no plan with integrating it all together into your current training lifestyle. Our success at SFE is due to our ability to consider all the variables, by looking at the current practices before relating them to your individual needs and creating a plan of attack so you can move forward with confidence.

If you haven’t yet managed to catch last weeks episode with Dr. Richard Blagrove, then head back to that episode right away for a great listen. Our conversation last week was jam packed full of insights from Richards’ position as Senior Lecturer of Physiology and S&C Programme Lead at Loughborough University. Listening back to the episode there was too much great content to just leave it there, so in todays episode we reflect upon some key points. From the differences and simililarities in our equipment and testing methods, collecting qualitative vs quantitative data, a closer look into REDs and onto what’s missing from the research around strength training and injury prevention.

Kriss had the pleasure this week of sitting down with Dr Richard Blagrove, Lecturer in Physiology and currently the Programme Leader for the MSc Strength and Conditioning at Loughborough University. We first met Richard back in 2016 when he was Programme Director for the BSc Strength and Conditioning Science at St Mary’s University, after recently publishing his book ‘Strength and Conditioning for Endurance Running’. Always an interesting and insightful discussion, Kriss and Richard deep dive into past and current research studIes and the applications these findings have on endurance athletes. From the consequences of chronic low energy availability on bone health markers, to setting strength standards for athletes and then onto the ‘optimal’ formula for concurrent training, this podcast has some really interesting takeaways. We’d like to thank Richard for his time and knowledge shared on this podcast. Some of Richards other accolades that we feel we need to mention include: - His work at Birmingham City University as a Senior Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Science, where he was awarded a Senior Fellowship by the Higher Education Authority (2017). - Managed the sport science support to The Royal Ballet Company in London, and was Lead Strength and Conditioning Coach for Sport and Health Services. - Richard is an Accredited Strength and Conditioning Coach and previously a Director of the UK Strength and Conditioning Association. - He has provided strength and conditioning coaching support to numerous athletes over the last 12 years including several Olympic and Paralympic athletes. - Richards extensive work with middle- and long-distance runners provided the inspiration for his doctoral research which investigated the utility of strength-based exercise in adolescent distance runners.
