----- Forwarded message ---------

From: Mikael Eriksson

Last week Menachem Brodie featured in the second part of a two-part episode on strength training for triathlon and endurance sport. We delved deep into a number of important aspects endurance athletes need to know when it comes to strength training. Strength training for triathlon and endurance sports part 2 with Menachem Brodie | EP#183 In last week's Q&A I focused on how to set power targets for full and half Ironmans. I also touched on what target power would make you competitive, and the best way to monitor and use heart rate in training. Q&A #36 |  Power targets and pacing half and full Ironmans, what target power would make you competitive, and the best way to monitor and use heart rate in training Strength training for triathlon and endurance sports part 2 with Menachem Brodie | EP#183 Annual planning of strength training: Working into the overall training plan depends on who you are, your age and training age, your goals and your distance. If you're looking for a PR, we'd start to build it into your training plan a bit more - looking for periodisation. In the base period, we'll look between 3-4 hours in the gym (any more may take away from your other training). When an athlete gets closer to racing, we cut down to 40-60 minutes once a week and aim to move heavy things and focusing on the movements they need to get stronger at. The load and stress that is caused by the strengthening part can actually be a bit of recovery: Strength training can help you mitigate some of the issues caused by doing repetitive cycling, running and swimming. That was a brief extract. This Episode will also feature: Benefits of strength training for triathletes and endurance athletes. How much strength training should you be doing? What should your strength training consist of? The importance of assessments in strength training. How to fit in strength training around swim, bike and run workouts Periodisation of strength training over a year or an entire triathlon season.
