Listen "The Ultimate EASY guide to Strength & Conditioning"
Episode Synopsis
With a big increase in the number of our athletes now doing S and C at least once a week, with the podium results to show for it, can you afford to miss out?
Today’s Show:
De-bunking the Myth that Strength & Conditioning is complicated. In this episode, Phil and Grant are joined by Tom from Total Strength Endurance. They break down the why and how of S&C for Endurance Sports athletes — helping you understand how smart gym work can transform performance across all three sports.
They cover:
•Why S&C matters more than you think (you can’t fire a cannon from a canoe!)
•How stronger muscles and better movement improve swim power, efficiency, and posture
•How leg strength reduces the oxygen demand in cycling
•How better Co-ordination, Muscular Strength and Connective tissue conditioning leads to better running times
•How to build a simple, effective gym session using five key moves — push, pull, core, single-leg, and double-leg
Plus: when to focus on strength through the season, how to balance gym and sport training, and the Mystique of “plyometrics” explained
