You bring up a good point., Justin! We will be covering all of this during the Injury Prevention Clinic on March 15. However it’s worth reviewing now.
Please do not stretch as your warm up for a workout. In order to warm up before a workout, it is always recommend that you do a dynamic warm up. If you stretch when your muscles are cold, this…[Read more]

CoachAJ replied to the topic Master Swim – Interested? in the forum Olympic Distance Program (ODP) for Paid Participants 4 years, 7 months ago
More great feedback from Jorge! I swim with DCRP and it is all elite, Division 1 swimmers. After 10+ years swimming with them, I have gotten over swimming in the ‘triathlete’ lane (ie the slowest!) 🙂 That said, pool (competition) swimming can be different from triathlon swimming. So don’t be afraid to consider a master’s swim group if its co…[Read more]

Good insights Jorge! I love that we are still talking about running mechanics because it takes an incredibly long, hard focus to change old habits. And this is timely since we will be reviewing all of this at the March 15th clinic. So we will see you there!
One quick note, as Jorge mentioned, you can set your Garmin (newer models) or a free a…[Read more]

More helpful feedback and great ideas! Ryan makes a great point…we don’t often get a lot of vacation time so you want to be able to enjoy it and not hijack your family vacation for training. So do what you can to be active (to help maintain your fitness), which could even be cross training activities like hiking, walking or yoga. And pr…[Read more]

Since our first clinic is just over a week away, this is a great time to talk about what is expected and what to bring.
First of all, these clinic days are a major undertaking with 30+ volunteers and 150 participants between all training programs. So we ask you to:

CoachAJ replied to the topic Running with Plantar Fasciitis? in the forum Run 4 years, 7 months ago
Stretching the Achilles can help particularly if coupled with the other recommendations. If you do stretch on a stair or firm incline, science has proven that you must hold the stretch for at least 3 minutes to get any value out of it. And then it’s minimal. The muscles that cause PF are so deep that seldom will stretching relieve and re…[Read more]

More great ideas from Jason! Great way to immerse yourself in your new location by joining in on a running group!
As a quick additional to Jason’s recommendations, if you are going to be missing a key long bike workout, if possible, see if you can adjust your long ride to your recovery week (if before or after) so you are gradually progressing…[Read more]

Fantastic recommendations, Joseph! What better way to enjoy your new area than go for a run!
To help foster a good swim, here are a few resources to locate a pool in addition to fitness facilities like 24 hour Fitness. Also, don’t forget about your surroundings. If you have access to (safe) open water, take advantage of it! Just be sure to ha…[Read more]
