Fwd: [ TTS Podcast] Strength Training For Endurance Sport | Part 2

----- 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.


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.


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

    • What target power should you shoot for in your half or full distance triathlons?
    • What power do you need to hold to be competitive in a medium-sized half distance race?
    • Why you have to consider power-to-weight and power-to-aerodynamics
    • How to make the best use of heart rate and real-time monitoring of it in training

Fwd: Global Athlete launches full Website as Mobilization Strategy gets underway

---- Forwarded message ---------
From: Global Athlete <media@globalathlete.org>



MEDIA RELEASE

Global Athlete launches full Website as Mobilization Strategy gets underway 

  • New Athlete-led Movement for positive change, Global Athlete, today unveils full website following its February 2019 launch
  • Website launch coincides with the Movement's Athlete Mobilization Strategy getting underway worldwide
 
27 May 2019: The new international athlete-led movement for change in sport, Global Athlete, has today launched its full website as part of its drive to engage and empower the world's athletes to rally behind transforming the way sport is run.

The site, which launches after three months in the making, highlights the Movement's goal to promote athlete-led change to growing issues in world sport ranging from athlete welfare, unlocking athletes' marketing potential, ensuring athletes receive Olympic revenues and better representation at the decision-making table.
With the Movement's long term objectives set to be defined following the results of the ongoing listening exercise that Global Athlete has begun with the world's athlete community, the site offers sportsmen and women the opportunity to get up-to-speed on the pressing issues in sports governance, express their views through polls or to learn the latest developments from Global Athlete as it develops.
"With the athlete call for greater representation and meaningful engagement alongside administrators growing fast, our website is a place where we listen to, engage and empower athletes. The site provides athletes the opportunity to gain information on the governance of sport, express their voice and provide meaningful input on issues, and to sign-up as a Supporter of positive change in sport," said Global Athlete Director General, Rob Koehler.
"Athletes have begun a journey to balance the scales and put their voice at the heart of decisions that will determine the future of their sports. We hope our website offers the platform they need to express themselves freely, and without judgment, as they continue that journey to change the culture of decision-making in sport," added Koehler.
The launch of the website coincides with the official commencement of Global Athlete's mobilization strategy - the 'listening exercise' - which is a central part of the Movement's efforts to hear athletes' points of view from all countries and all sports, no matter whether they are appointed or elected athletes, part of Commissions or simply individual voices. All athletes' views will be considered in order to determine the future of Global Athlete as it works to modernize international sport, and bring sports governance into the twenty-first century.

About Global Athlete
Global Athlete is a new international athlete-led movement aiming to inspire and drive change across the world of sport. As a movement run by athletes, for athletes, Global Athlete's goal is to balance the power between athletes and sporting leaders, and to enable athletes to have their say about the way in which sport is run. Global Athlete aims to change sport for the better and bring it into the twenty-first century by mobilizing athletes, following the recent unprecedented uprising in which athletes have called for enhanced rights and changes to the way sport is governed.

Global Athlete is being funded initially by FairSport along with other individual donors whose desire is to drive change for a better athlete environment. Global Athlete is entirely independent from government, sport and National Anti-Doping Organizations. As such, the funders will have no part in the decision making or operations of the Movement; they have contributed because of their passion for sport and a desire to see improvements to athlete rights across the world of Olympic and non-Olympic Sport.  This will be a movement led by athletes.
Athletes who are passionate about seeing change, and want to start a conversation on how they see the future of sport, are encouraged to sign-up at the Global Athlete website: http://globalathlete.org/
