Summary
In this episode, Matthew Boyd and Gab Lesnett discuss off-season training for runners. They address the importance of a base-building phase and the potential issues with jumping into a training program too quickly.
They also emphasize the need for maintaining speed work and incorporating plyometric training to improve tendon health and elasticity. Strength training is recommended to build overall strength and resilience.
The conversation highlights the importance of gradually increasing volume during the off-season and considering cross-training activities. Stretching and mobility work are discussed, with an emphasis on addressing specific issues rather than focusing solely on general flexibility. The episode concludes with information on how to connect with Gab Lesnett.
