Exploring British Biathlon

In this episode we dive into the challenges of coaching and try to unpack what we can achieve as coaches.

In this episode we discuss the different approaches of training, specifically around heart rate zones, and take an interesting tangent into warm ups.

In this episode we introduce Dave Macutkiewicz, a sports physiologist who has previously worked with British Biathlon and is now supporting us once more. Dave helps us understand Peak Height Velocity (PHV) and we discuss some of the possible benefits and challenges around growth spurts which is becoming so much more relevant to the BBU with us currently recruiting athletes down to 14.
