Rich's Training Setback From Skipping Strength Work
- Anecdote: Rich stopped strength training after a hamstring tendinopathy and COVID disrupted his routine, causing setbacks.
- He learned to 'train your age' and reintroduced strength to return toward mid-40 mile weeks and marathon prep.
Early Adolescence Sets Lifetime Bone Size
- Insight: Ages 8–14 are uniquely plastic for bone size; varied impact activities yield lifelong bone diameter benefits.
- Example: multi-directional jumps during this window increase bone diameter and moment of inertia permanently.
Pair Jumps With Axial Heavy Lifts For Spine And Pelvis
- Do prioritize jump training for bone gains but add heavy axial lifts to load the pelvis and lumbar spine.
- Progress to heavy squats and explosive lifts to produce quick high-magnitude bone strain.
