Nothing is ever lost…..

A note from one of our head coaches, Phil Murphy, to his athletes ahead of the start of November and as the build to 2021 starts in earnest for many northern hemisphere athletes. If you are already experienced and performing well in Triathlon, shifting your key focus through the winter months is likely the way to find the best gains.

Strength and Conditioning in endurance sports for improving performance

A pivotal time of the year for many where your season has ended, the break for a little R+R is finished and now is the time to get back on it. A time where most people will start to put gym and strength sessions back into their programme, but are you actually doing it properly to unlock your true potential or are you building the ego?

Recovery in Lockdown……….

In the current situation with Coronavirus, when asked to rest and recover most athletes just want to fill their day with something so they get back on the bike or go for their daily run just to get out the house……..and inevitably go too hard.

Coronavirus – Facts and advice, not “fake news”

As a lot of you know, I am an Intensive Care Consultant as well as a triathlete. My wife is a GP so we are both heavily involved in the healthcare response to Covid-19. As such I have had a lot of queries from athletes and friends asking for my views on various things that are doing the rounds with regards to the virus. So I thought I’d do a quick summary of the things I will, and won’t, be doing over the next few weeks, and why.

Lab testing- why is this useful for Age Group triathletes?

Lab testing has long been used for profiling elite athletes for performance benefits, especially in endurance sports. Many amateur athletes have taken part in studies looking into specific areas amongst performance, thus creating more knowledge in the sport science world.

Fuelling for performance and optimal weight management

We tend to see three recurring issues from Triathletes. Firstly, too many people are simply not eating enough to sustain the workload undertaken on a daily basis, especially those training multiple times a day. Secondly, the quality of what they eat and how much they eat in their main meals and “normal people” snacks is good, but they are not adding in enough additional, well timed Fuel and hydration to support their training sessions. And lastly the timing of eating certain types of foods is sub optimal or without thought around the different levels of intensity and duration of their training

Lactate thresholds made simple – by Rob Bridges

Lactate thresholds have long been used for endurance training, but does the average triathlete actually understand them and know how to use them to their advantage in training. In simple terms lactate is the by-product of burning fuel (glucose) in the muscles, the harder you work the higher the lactate production and the higher your heart rate. You may have heard people talk about aerobic threshold and anaerobic threshold or lactate turn point or even maximal steady state. You may have heard coaches talk about working at tempo or threshold but what exactly do they mean?

Here is detailed a solid plan outline and the thought process required to evolve over the winter
