Strength For Endurance Podcast

We are joined today by Boulder based Strength & Conditioning Coach Kevin Purvis. We've been aware of Kevin and the great work he's doing, for a good few years now, so it was awesome to finally be able to sit down and have a coach to coach chat. As the owner of KP Performance, Kevin and his team are all about 'building stronger athletes' and we took this opportunity to delve into his thought processes, discuss the barriers we common face with coaching endurance athletes and see what he's learnt during his many years as an experienced trainer. We hope you enjoy! You can find out more about Kevin and his work at https://www.kpperformanceboulder.com or via instagram @kp_performance

We had engaging and insighful conversation this week with Angelo Gingerellie, coach and co-author of the recently published Finish Strong - Resistance Training for Endurance Athletes. Alongside Richard (RJ) Boergers, the two wrote the book with the aim of introducing the principles of resistance training to the endurance athlete, in a clear and accessible way. Kriss chats with Angelo about how the book came about, the training principles it promotes and similar to us at SFE, educating our audience on bridging the gap between resistance training and endurance performance.   Angelo Gingerelli: Strength & Conditioning Coach - Seton Hall University  IG for the Book: @Finish_Strong_Book  You can get your copy of this Bloomsbury publication on Amazon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Finish-Strong-Resistance-Training-Endurance/dp/1472977432   ………………………….   Keep up to date with my recent coaching insights - Here  P.S.

A very common problem, finding yourself tight in areas such as your calves, hamstrings, hip flexors or chest. But rather than lack of flexibility being to blame, have you considered that you're symptoms might be originating from an underlying weakness?

We now have an enormous range of specialists who we can seek help from, if we should want to optimise our biomechanics, adjust our form and boost our overall performance. This can be an expensive but highly beneficial purchase, however so many athletes go and get great advice but fail to see long lasting results from the findings - and it's often not the analysis that is the problem, it's what you do (or don't do) after that is the problem. That's what Kriss is discussing on todays podcast, not only where you might be falling short but sharing what you need to be doing to truely make your investment worthwhile. Kriss references a few exercises in this podcast episode, you can find them here: Lateral Box Step Up https://youtu.be/lXqvQAGRPa4 , Broad Jump https://youtu.be/RLZEHQ17gGE   ………………………….   Keep up to date with my recent coaching insights - Here  P.S.

There is no sugar-coating it. Getting a DNF (Did Not Finish) marked next to your name in the results table sucks! But it's something that many of us have experienced and will likely experience again. However many DNF's are actually within your control and can infact be prevented. Todays podcasts starts by looking at the cost of not finishing a race, the money, time and energy that has potentially been "wasted" but also the psychological and emotional impact it can have for some of us. Flipping it, we want to highlight several key things you can consider and take action towards, in order to significantly reduce the liklihood of getting a DNF again anytime soon. What is stopping you from getting to the start of the race, completing your goal or crossing the finish line? It's time to take a closer look...... ………………………….   Keep up to date with my recent coaching insights - Here  P.S.

As athletes who move and challenge our bodies regularly, most of us would say we're pretty in tune with our bodies. However feeling something and listening to it are two very different things and often we ignore the signs and symptoms that we don't want to hear. In this weeks podcast we had another great chat with integrative medical doctor Dr. Ruth Wilde, discussing key factors we can use to do a regular 'self check in'. We talk training protocols, individualisation and communication and how important these three are if we want to maintain a level of health that will allow us to train and perform in a sustainable way.
