With more widespread success and less nagging issues from our in season trainees, I am reflecting on changes made in the gym for our XC athletes and how they have contributed to, though certainly don't define, success athletes have seen this fall.
From 2 heavier strength days to 1 fast lifting day + a plyo/sprint heavy day

As a runner, lifiting weights is probably not at the top of your todo list unless you're a sprinter.
Let me tell you, endurance athletes need to clang weights around too. And surprisingly, quite similarly.
On this episode, learn how to lift weights smartly using "tempo training" to get stronger and be more resilient.

It's been awhile! Busy with a lot of coaching the last 6 months among other things. I was driving and realized I should drop something for you all.
This month a member at the gym was telling me how he was lacking pop/bounce in his running stride. So, we starting working on that. I am going to share the 2 things we did, as well as what it means to have "pep in your step"
If you watched Sherika Jackson in the Diamond League 200m final vs during the World Championships, you should be able to note the difference, Ato Bolden calls it out. ;-)
Want to set up a training session to add bounce in your step? Drop your info on the website “pep in my step” at Global Human Performance

Join my and my physical therapist, Sean Crandell as we talk about tendons, one of my favorite subjects.
Sean has helped me with ankle and knee issues and works with Nancy Foley who runs the practice he's at who has served many of our GHP members over the years.
On this show, I engage Sean about tendons and learned valuable lessons about the difference between tendinopathy, tendonitis, and tendinosis.
It's also a great refresher on the beauty of scientific discovery as well as its limitations. And that scientific discovery is really just a physical manifestation of philosophy.

On this episode I'm joined with Dan Lampmann of YRC - Yinz Run Club. I've had the privilege of running with YRC over the last year and have supported their runners with understanding running mechanics and strength training for longevity.
Dan & I have a fun conversation from his own sport background, to the founding of YRC, and the culture that's been curated at YRC.
It's a great listen in understanding how you truly create a remarkable community, lessons I want to even better use in my own business.
Tune in for a fun conversation.

Join me on this episode with Alyssa Chance, a local runner here in Pittsburgh who runs everyday to view various artworks around the city.
Alyssa impressively amasses 80-100mile weeks consistently. So consistent, that in the last 2 years, she's only not hit 80+ miles per week, once.
Her commitment can be summarized by one line from her husband "so where are you running today?"
Tune in to an amazing story by someone who began running in her 30s and now runs 8-15 miles a day to see all of the amazing artwork around our city.
You can find her on Instagram @RunTheChance and on Strava as Alyssa Chance

You know you need to stretch more. During my morning walk, I cover a couple of easy ways to get more stretching in as you know you need to do it.
And a nice nugget about confidence at the end.
Enjoy!
