20.01.2022 As a Strength Coach for Cyclists, Runners and Swimmers and other athletes I was stoked to hear from many of the Pro cyclists that they emphasised a well thought out strength routine both out of and in racing season! Short interview I did with Phillip Island web-radio , Josh from Team Trek and Gav from Bass Coast Cycle Challenge
19.01.2022 Tonight I run my endurance specific strength and swim sessions: 6:15 strength and mobility flow along - meet at kilcunda foreshore grassy area near park @6:10. 7pm group swim / swimrun for those chasing the Bass coast series events. The strength and mobility sesssions focus on injury prevention or prehabilitative exercises, a mix of dynamic stretching, core strength, Pilates and yoga combined for a total body flow along.... The swim sessions we focus on technique and some short intervals , catering to all abilities and speeds. Most of my Monday night crew are beginners so we work mainly on open water skills and technique drills. Then those who want to can add in the planned intervals. Looking forward to an uplifting and reenergising session after a big weekend tonight, please DM if you’d like to join - first session always free

16.01.2022 It’s here! My FREE Ebook, - Athletes without Limits: How to improve your athletic performance and bulletproof your body through my 7 Core Strength Fundamentals (phase 1 in a 4 phase training series to Strength Mastery!) The Common Problem: Many athletes lack the core stabilization capacities, ability to maintain postural positioning, and movement coordination within the core muscles to maximize efficiency with their sport. This decreases the level of athleticism, potential f...or success in their chosen sport, and can increase the potential for injury. Solution: The implementation of a comprehensive and PROGRESSIVE core strength and conditioning program where the stabilization, strength, endurance, coordination, anti-rotation, and rotational capacities are developed BEFORE more complex strength training is introduced. Each of the 7 fundamental exercises are designed to: - Create optimal levels of core stabilization strength and postural control, which will allow for greater strength development in more complex sport-specific exercises. - Build core stability for injury resilience - Fix muscle imbalances and weaknesses - Set yourself up for getting more out of your current training!

10.01.2022 Hey Friends, it's been a while but 'The Travelling Triathlete' is making a comeback - I'll be heading over to Bali's Nusa Lembongan in less than 2 weeks where I'll be competing in the Bali Hope Swim Run. Hoping to raise $2000 in 2 weeks! That's the challenge for me as I count down to the Bali Hope SwimRun. I'm swimming 2.5km and running 18km around the beautiful Balinese island of Nusa Lembongan, to raise money for improved recycling infrastructure for a community in need. ...I set my fundraising goal at $3,000 - ambitious, but I think I can get there because I know many people who are also passionate about empowering communities to create sustainable change. If you're able to help out with a donation - that would be amazing - your donation will help to make a BIG difference. Just head to my fundraising page https://balihopeswimrun2018.everydayhero.com//kara-landell and give whatever you can, Thank you for your support <3 See more

06.01.2022 CALLING ALL RUNNER'S! I'm currently conducting some research on many running communities in order to see exactly what they are in need of most - whether that be improving endurance, speed, or injury prevention or something else. I'm doing this so I can provide some coaching programs tailored to exactly what runners want/need to work on and would benefit from most. ... It would mean so much for me if you could please give 2 minutes of your time to answer this short survey - all responses are anonymous: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/C8P7VMS Thanks and looking forward to seeing many of you soon at the PI running fest!
04.01.2022 On December 5-9th this year one of my athlete's and good friend Nina and I will be partaking in the first ever Bali Hope SwimRun Event! We're partnering up with Bali Children Foundation to raise money to combat plastics pollution on the Islands of Lembongan and Ceningan. Our goal is to raise over $3000 each where 100% of the profits go to not only expansion of their recycling centre but to also facilitate awareness campaigns on plastic pollution and how we can create a more ...sustainable ecosystem. The environmental challenge presented by plastic is well documented. What is less clear is what we can do as individuals to tackle this problem. By combining our voices and supporting better recycling infrastructure and greater awareness among young people we are actively building a better future. Any donation is greatly appreciated - if you'd like to support us my fundraising page is here: https://give.everydayhero.com/au/kara-landells Big Love <3
