Strength For Endurance Podcast

George came to us at SFE with a hip and knee injury that was stopping him from running pain free. With a big year of ultra-running planned culminating in a 100miler in the summer he wanted to see if we could help. Having never done strength training before bar a few sporadic 'off the cuff' strength exercises he has progressed with patience and consistency to become a rather accomplished strength athlete, in doing so enabling him to re-balance his body, overcome his injuries and walk away from his 100 mile race successfully, without complaint. Listen in as George shares his new mindset around intergrating S&C into his passion of running. Keep up to date with my recent coaching insights - here  P.S.

You might be hitting all your sessions during the week and doing them well, but you’re still struggling to see the results from your work or get over a frustrating injury? As endurance athletes, we know the juggle between training, work and family is real. Many of you aren’t professionals, so still work full time alongside training upwards of 10 hours a week which can be demanding. So often clients come to us struggling, yet as soon as we look at their weekly load (training, work, family and social life) it’s evident that these external stressors are having a big impact in allowing them to progress with their performance. Listen in as Kriss shares some tips to help you streamline your lifestyle and maximise your training. Keep up to date with my recent coaching insights - here  P.S.

The bottom line is that if you want to race and perform with quality, you have to train with quality too. Unfortunately many of us in endurance sports get caught up with what others are doing and the common perception is still that more volume is the answer to success. But surely doing more of poor quality is worse than doing less of good quality? Keep up to date with my recent coaching insights - here  P.S.

Kriss is joined this week by our in-house physio at SFE - Sophie, as they sit down to look a little closer at injuries. Often athletes are missing the bigger picture when it comes to injury and working out why it happened, which is an easy mistake to mistake if you don’t have help from the right person, asking the right questions. So how do you explain injuries that seemingly come out of the blue? and What possible training errors may have got you there? Sophie and Kriss talk about the approach we should take when trying to resolveg an injury and the frustrations that come along the way. Keep up to date with my recent coaching insights - here  P.S.

We always try to strip back the unnecessary noise when it comes to strength training in an attempt to make it less overwhelming to athletes, who’d honestly prefer to be spending their time out on the the trails, track or road. However there also needs to be an understanding and level of respect around the importance of following an individualised program over a generic ‘one size fits all’ approach. So if you’re someone who’s frustrusted by not seeing the results of your work, you’re looking to overcome an injury or have set yourself a pretty lofty goal for next season then listen in as Kriss explains more...

A question for you….”Do you have the strength to go the distance?” To keep doing what you want session after session, race after race, year after year, with complete confidence in your body. It’s key to remember that strength is the pre requisite to speed and power, and only then can we safely and effectively start to build our capacity for endurance. Unfortunately many longer distance athletes (10km plus) put all their focus on the endurance aspect, and ignore the foundations, leading to injury, inconsistent training and dissapointing performances. Todays podcast looks at what it takes to build that all important bedrock. Keep up to date with my recent coaching insights - here  P.S.

It's not uncommon to have a dominant side when it comes to everyday tasks such as writing, kicking a ball or throwing. But what about when it comes to our strength training and applying it to our sport...is it ok if we can only do 10 calf raises on our left leg but 20 on our right?
