18.01.2022 Should you be using Ice baths for recovery?

10.01.2022 This specifically designed mobility sequence should be followed by all runners after any strength and conditioning session. Being dynamic in nature it requires stability and control throughout the whole sequence. Areas of interest to runners are the thoracic mobility, hip flexors and posterior chain myofascial tissue.

07.01.2022 Little sneak peak into the exercise tutorials I am currently working on. Deadlifts (or a variation of) should be at the base of any good strength training program. I am a huge advocate of getting my runners to move big numbers when it comes to hinge movements as long as the fundamentals are there in terms of technique. Watch with volume for some technique pointers #deadlift #running #strength

06.01.2022 Attention Runners! Lets get this content started. What you need to know before starting your training.

05.01.2022 Listen with audio Can upper body movement be worthwhile for runners? Absolutely! ... Although not as important as increasing strength durability and explosiveness in the legs, upper body work definitely has its place for runners. A strong back allows you to hold your neutral spine while running, stops rounding of the shoulders late in a race, can contribute to anti-rotational strength, and will improve overall posture and biomechanics for most runners. If you are someone either stuck in the office, driving a lot, or at a computer, the chances are your posture needs some work. The bodyweight pull up is one of the few upper body exercises I encourage all runners to progress towards. Start with an assisted machine or bands and slowly increase load until you can correctly execute the movement with no assistance. #running #endurance #endurancetraining #strengthtraining #marathontraining

04.01.2022 Hey legends, Just finished a new blog post on core training for runners. Check it out if you get a minute and let me know what you think.

03.01.2022 This morning consisted of ... After listening to an interesting Ben greenfield podcast on cold therapy, Jess and I decided to hold ourselves accountable to a dip every morning (the colder the better) Things you should know about cold therapy:... 1. Interestingly you don’t necessarily need an ice bath or even anywhere near freezing temp to achieve many of the desired benefits of cold therapy. A shower just using the cold or an ocean swim is enough to illicit change. 2. Wim Hof is an amazing practice to partake in, but still to this day studies are unsure whether it is the breathing exercises, the exposure to cold, or an unintentional mindfulness session that contributes most to disease and illness control. 3. For best practice, try to regain your normal breathing as fast as you can after cold exposure. 3 minutes seems to be ideal in most people’s opinions, and there is some evidence to say that over 5 mins could even be detrimental to you (massive stress respond) 4. Understand that if you have ice baths after all of your hard workouts you are blunting your adaptive responses. Ice can be beneficial if you need to back up big efforts but otherwise allow your body to repair its inflammation. 5. Practicing cold therapy is a way for you to do something hard daily... it flows into other areas of your life. 6. In my opinion, you need to start and see for yourself how amazing you feel. Sometimes stepping away from the research and asking yourself how you feel after something like cold therapy is the best approach.
