The winter months should be the time when you address the weaknesses that limited your progress in the previous season, and which may do so again in the next season. In an ideal world, this would start with a thorough physical assessment by a qualified practitioner, such as my guest today Louisa Holmes (a.k.a. The White Witch).

I have linked two previous podcasts to highlight the full assessment process (part 1) and then on to the hard work required by you, the athlete, to ensure that those identified weaknesses are strengthened (part 2, beginning at 0:32:12).

I have been through this process myself and the fact that I can now run without Achilles or calf pain during or after is testament to the value of such an assessment and the necessity to spend more time working on mobility and stabiliser muscle strength.  Please make sure you take notes while you listen as I have no doubt that you can benefit from this as much as I have!

Part 1

• Why a hi tech bike fit isn’t necessary to find the best riding position

Part 2 (0:32:12)

• Scapula stability and its impact on rider comfort and run performance
