Strength For Endurance Podcast

In todays episode we share a recent check-in call Kriss had with SFE athlete Maria. With consistent age group winning performances across the board, Maria is testament to the hard work she puts in. But when a knee meniscal injury derailled her performance last year it's been an interesting (yet successful) journey through recovery. Maria shares with us just how valuable she finds being accountable to someone, the importance of celebrating the small wins that we often take for granted and the power of positive self talk in the hardest of times.

As athletes we will all at some point be faced with uncertainty or moments where we question "Am I good to go on?" or "Is my body capable of this?" and unfortunately for many this will be a gamble. But for those of who have directed specific, purposeful and progressive work into building the necessary S&C foundations, they will have the knowledge and confidence that they need to answer these questions with clarity. Our endurance training alone is unable to give us the 'fore-warning' that a strength program can. By having clear metrics and the ability to test our body before we put ourselves back into high volume, high intensity environments we can make calculated decisions that'll prevent unnecessary backward steps in our progress.

Whether it's a job that has you on your feet for really long days? A stressful work environment that peaks at specific times throughout the year or lifestyle responsibilities and hobbies that mean you actually don't sit down very much….if you're also trying to fit in a large volume of training throughout the week, something is going to eventually break. Any of these could be impacting your training and performance more than you think and whilst it's unlikely (and probably unnecessary) that you're going to make drastic changes like a career change, not walking the dog, doing the gardening or being a parent etc, your training and S&C can be manipulated so that you start seeing fewer injuries, illnesses and frustrating plateaus in performance. If this sounds like you, how do you deal with it? How do you slow down the endless "hamster wheel" you feel like you're spinning? Keep up to date with my recent coaching insights - here P.S.

We are all curious about our athletic potential, whether it be our first 5k or first 100miler. To be able to achieve these goals we know that we are likely going to have to make some behavioural changes to our current lifestyle. To do the 'extraordinary' we know that we are going to have to go beyond what we currently know, and many are happy to do this with their training volume and intensity. However the weekly conversation that you should be having with yourself is whether you are making extraordinary changes with your nutrition, recovery and strength and conditioning to reach these goals.

Warm Ups. We all know we should be doing them, but when we're rushing out the door or catching up with training partners before a session they are easy to skip or rush through. Some of you might be embarassed doing them if no-one else is or you simply don't know what you should be doing. The fact of the matter is a good warm up (which could only be several minutes) will define the quality of your training sessions. So what should they look like? How long? Do you need equipment? Listen in to todays podcast as Kriss shares his thoughts and tips. Keep up to date with my recent coaching insights - here P.S.

Depending on where you are in the world, many of you over the winter months or off season will have established some great routines with your strength work. The darker, colder days allow for more time in the gym setting, as the pull outdoors isn't so tempting and the races are fewer and further apart. But what happens to your 2-3 weekly strength sessions once the race season begins? You'll have races back to back and really you just want to be outdoors on the trails, road or track, leaving very little desire or time to be maintaining your strength work. This is where 'Micro-dosing' comes in and that's what we discuss in todays episode. What it looks like and how to go about it.

Are you someone who is regularly complaining about tight quads or tip hip flexors?

Kriss also takes you through some practical tasks to test yourself as you're listening to todays episode.

As we look to get stronger, fitter, faster we have to continually look to improve our tolerance for work. What do we mean by tolerance? Essentially your ability to absorb work consistently and sustainably. Everyone has a unique threshold, not just based on their fitness but also depending on individual circumstances such as family life, work life. Todays episode looks at how we can work to increase our tolerance in the form of a timeline: 1. Stability & Confidence 2. Build capacity & strength 3. Increase skill set (drills and plyometrics) 4.

We often get asked "What's the best exercise for XXX ?" which is a pretty difficult question to answer given the thousands of exercises there are to choose from.

What we've done in todays episode is broken the body down and given you what we deem as the best 'bang for your buck' exercises depending upon what it is you need to work on.

This week we look at the race taper. A phase of training in any competing athletes schedule that needs to be considered, practice and can often take some fine tuning to master. We discuss how S&C can be utilised in the lead up to a race to keep your body in a state of readiness whilst lowering overall training load and intensity and what your taper program should look like?
