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.

Think about this...6 days of trail running across the island of Madeira, covering roughly 130km, with 8000m elevation (and back down again!) Now think about doing this after you’ve been told 9 months again, it’s unlikely that you’ll ever be able to run again. That was where SFE client Oliver was at the beginning of 2022. Struggling with a significant meniscal injury, he could barely run 5km without pain. This is why the true feat of his achievement is quite incredible and shows just what is possible with commitment, effort and the right guidance and accountability from an MDT approach. Listen in to todays episode to hear Olivers amazing story... Keep up to date with my recent coaching insights - here  P.S.

As a GP with regular night shifts and incredibly busy schedule, Aoife’s strength training approach was very ad-hoc and unstructured. A relatively young runner, only really starting seriously in the last 4 years it was clear that structure and consistency was something that she needed if she was going to get the most out of her ultra-running goals. Since earlier this year we’ve worked with Aoife to create a strong and resilient chassis, and with success. She’s completed four big races this summer the Highland Fling (80km), a 105km in Spain, renowned 145km TDS and a little 50 miler to wrap up her season! Find out what’s enabled her to back up races and develop a training approach thats sustainable and effective. Keep up to date with my recent coaching insights - here  P.S.
