Strength Training for Triathletes: Coach Chris Lee 35:39

43 weeks پیش35:39

35:39

D3 Coach Mike Ricci Interviews Chris Lee of Kinesis integrated Performance. Chris has a long history of working with Olympic level triathletes, Ironman athletes, Ultra runners, and podium finishers of the Boston Marathon. We discuss how much and how often a triathlete should strength train along with how to train around a race, and the key exercises every triathlete should be doing! Takeaways Strength training is important for endurance athletes and can help improve performance. The minimum effective dose for strength training is two times a week, but three times a week can be beneficial for some athletes. Strength tapering should start around eight weeks before a race, with a gradual decrease in volume and intensity. During tapering, the focus is on maintaining base strength, modifying as needed, and mitigating injuries. Strength training can be beneficial for recovery after a race, but the volume and intensity should be reduced to avoid muscle soreness and damage. Strength training is crucial for both long-distance and short-distance endurance athletes. During race season, it is important to focus on strength retention and maintain a balance between training and recovery. As we age, strength training becomes even more important for maintaining mobility, strength, and bone health. The app discussed in the conversation aims to make strength training more accessible and personalized for endurance athletes. Sound Bites "I can get faster at this, right?" "People still don't understand how important strength training is" "We're playing with the endocrine system more so than anything else." "There is too strong. You don't need to be that strong."

The Zone Two Advantage: Unveiling the Triathlete's Secret Weapon 27:59

Coach Mike Ricci interview 6 time National Champion Coach Jim Hallberg about the importance of Zone 2 and how Jim relies on it to see progress with his athletes. Takeaways Zone 2 training is the foundation of all training in endurance sports. Zone 2 training improves aerobic capacity without excessive fatigue or muscle breakdown. Perceived effort, heart rate, pace, and power can be used to determine Zone 2 intensity. Recovery is important for allowing the body to adapt and improve. Capillary density plays a crucial role in delivering oxygen and removing waste from muscles. The balance between Zone 2 training and higher intensity workouts should be individualized based on race goals and time availability. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/d3-mikericci/support…
