As offered by the MSP, here are some additional dryland drills you can do if you have a band.
In addition, as we are going to talk about in our Injury Prevention online webinar, it is not as much what you are doing as how you are doing these drills that matter. Be sure to engage your core and gluts before doing each…[Read more]

Unfortunately we cannot. We have already put so much into these training programs and training plans between Kick Off Meeting, clinics, forum, training plan, onboarding, etc. What you will be able to do, if your training gets derailed or race cancelled, is use your training plan for a race later in the season. We are not at this point yet so le…[Read more]

Hope everyone is enjoying workouts in the spring weather!
It has been brought to my attention that my math is not always correct adding up swim workout yardage. Please accept my apologies if you come across some poor math 🙂
For the swim, since there is little to no impact of the body (unlike running) and is deemed a recovery-like workout, a…[Read more]

Hope everyone gained some value out of the nutrition clinic! Rebecca is very skilled and delivers a great presentation. However we want to make sure we can translate all of this information into a workable nutrition plan.

Thank you for sharing Joseph! They are brilliant (and I learned something new myself here)! When you are racing, it doesn’t matter if you are winning a fashion show or not IF you can keep your prized nutrition in place. 🙂
Thank you for sharing this strategic option, Joseph!

Great feedback Kevin! And it’s timely since we will be discussing all of this on Sunday! So please come out for this very vital clinic.
That said, science has proven that it takes 10,000+ repetition to change old habits and begin to ingrain new form. We will not discourage you from focusing on this for one workouts per week. However if you…[Read more]
