The Vital Link Between Physiotherapy and S&C: Our MDT Approach
Today Kriss is joined by Sophie who came onboard several months ago as our consulting Physiotherapist. As a keen endurance athlete herself, Sophie both understands and has experienced first hand the highs and lows of training, racing and injury. The two sit down to talk about the close link between physiotherapy and strength & conditioning and how they are working together on a weekly basis to ensure our clients are getting the best advice, support and injury management possible. They talk about how training errors often cause injury and that certain rehab approaches simply aren’t enough to get you to a place your body is ready for the demands of your sport.

Kriss is joined by one of his Austrailia based clients for this episode, who whilst training for a trail marathon up in the mountains suffered a significant ankle injury.

Ultra Trail Runner & Pro Athlete Lucy Bartholomew - "Stress + Rest = Growth"
Whilst many Ultra-runners progress to the longer distances at a some what 'more mature' age, todays guest ran her first 100km when she was just 15 years old. Since then Lucy Bartholomew has gone on to become a true ambassador and inspiration within the sport, with many impressive achievements to her name. But today's episode shows us much more than her results resume alone and rather how much of a well-rounded athlete and individual she has become. Kriss and Lucy discuss what she has learnt along her running journey so far, how an introduction to strength and conditioning at a young age gave her such solid foundations to build upon and her rather refreshing outlook on the sport that so many of us love. We talk about her upcoming Western States 100 (@lucy_bartholomew) and the highly recommended documentary following her pursuit of the 231km Larapinta trail www.runningoutmovie.com.

Why aren't you Integrating S&C across your whole training year?
If you are someone who only strength trains in the winter months or during your off season, not only are you potentially skimming the surface of your potential but you're also risking having a very short 'race year' due to an increased likelihood of injury. Your strength training won't look the same all year round that's for sure, but if you want to stay injury free and performing at your best you need to be maintaining that strength base throughout the year, to simply support the intensity and demand you are putting on your body.
