Your S&C should be a non-negotiable weekly event. There should be a consistent undertone of ensuring that you are moving with good quality i.e. good symmetry, ROM, stability across your whole body. The intensity and complexity of your S&C will be defined by what phase of training you are currently in. Many people fail because either they have this stop start relationship with their S&C and so never find that level of consistency that gives them the true benefits or their level of enthusiasm is so high that they end up decimating themselves over time. Like everything, you should be nurturing your relationship with strength and conditioning so that you can get the most out of it.

If that’s correct then plyometric training needs to be a non-negotiable - and we’re not just talking box-jumps. Listen in as Kriss discusses how to go about implementing this method of training both progressively and effectievly into your program. P.S.

In todays episode Kriss discusses the huge gaps in the current health and training education system - which is seeing patients who are recovering from significant injuries and just being told to start running again without any duty of care around their levels of S&C. In a time where even the National Governing Bodies within the endurance world are producing coaches with very limited skill sets, the SFE Training Course aims to upskill coaches, trainers, health professional and concious athletes to manage issues from injury through to peak performance. The course fills in the missing links between physio and performance but even more so how we can build stronger endurance athletes as a whole.
