I am beginning a series on plyometric training, aka jump training. On this episode I explain what plyometrics are & what the benefits are.
1) Springiness for running
2) Power production
3) Injury risk reduction

Often, we are limited on time with how much we can spend training. There are many times when we just have an hour but have to check multiple boxes.
Here are my go to lifting exercises when I only have time to get in a 2-4mi run + plus a 20-30min lift.

I finally did it! Broke the 20min barrier. I ran 19:56 during the P3R Turkey Trot. During my run & lift this morning I reflected on training and things that went well & things that could've gone much better.

A kiddo of mine pulled a quad muscle! After taking summer off for much needed rest, she jumped back into the gear having a great season with new PR's.
But she didn't heed to Fast Days Fast, Slow Days Slow - opting to run fast everyday. And well, it didn't workout.
So follow along as I tell you how we are helping get her back into running form!

With more widespread success and less nagging issues from our in season trainees, I am reflecting on changes made in the gym for our XC athletes and how they have contributed to, though certainly don't define, success athletes have seen this fall.
From 2 heavier strength days to 1 fast lifting day + a plyo/sprint heavy day

As a runner, lifiting weights is probably not at the top of your todo list unless you're a sprinter.
Let me tell you, endurance athletes need to clang weights around too. And surprisingly, quite similarly.
On this episode, learn how to lift weights smartly using "tempo training" to get stronger and be more resilient.

It's been awhile! Busy with a lot of coaching the last 6 months among other things. I was driving and realized I should drop something for you all.
This month a member at the gym was telling me how he was lacking pop/bounce in his running stride. So, we starting working on that. I am going to share the 2 things we did, as well as what it means to have "pep in your step"
If you watched Sherika Jackson in the Diamond League 200m final vs during the World Championships, you should be able to note the difference, Ato Bolden calls it out. ;-)
Want to set up a training session to add bounce in your step? Drop your info on the website “pep in my step” at Global Human Performance

Join my and my physical therapist, Sean Crandell as we talk about tendons, one of my favorite subjects.
Sean has helped me with ankle and knee issues and works with Nancy Foley who runs the practice he's at who has served many of our GHP members over the years.
On this show, I engage Sean about tendons and learned valuable lessons about the difference between tendinopathy, tendonitis, and tendinosis.
It's also a great refresher on the beauty of scientific discovery as well as its limitations. And that scientific discovery is really just a physical manifestation of philosophy.

On this episode I'm joined with Dan Lampmann of YRC - Yinz Run Club. I've had the privilege of running with YRC over the last year and have supported their runners with understanding running mechanics and strength training for longevity.
Dan & I have a fun conversation from his own sport background, to the founding of YRC, and the culture that's been curated at YRC.
It's a great listen in understanding how you truly create a remarkable community, lessons I want to even better use in my own business.
Tune in for a fun conversation.
Join the Run Crew for one of their upcoming Wednesday evening 6:30pm runs!

Join me on this episode with Alyssa Chance, a local runner here in Pittsburgh who runs everyday to view various artworks around the city.
Alyssa impressively amasses 80-100mile weeks consistently. So consistent, that in the last 2 years, she's only not hit 80+ miles per week, once.
Her commitment can be summarized by one line from her husband "so where are you running today?"
Tune in to an amazing story by someone who began running in her 30s and now runs 8-15 miles a day to see all of the amazing artwork around our city.
You can find her on Instagram @RunTheChance and on Strava as Alyssa Chance

You know you need to stretch more. During my morning walk, I cover a couple of easy ways to get more stretching in as you know you need to do it.
And a nice nugget about confidence at the end.
Enjoy!

But "how" should you be setting up your sets, repetitions, and speed of the lift.
That's what we're talking about here today:

Check out this interview I did with one of our student-athletes in August, Holden Eagle. This was just before starting his freshman XC season after having a great HS senior campaign, capping it off with a 5th place 4x800m finish & 10th place 800m finish at the PIAA State Championship as well as placing 17th in the 4x800m at New Balance Nationals.
For context, when we met 5 years ago during 8th grade, he was not physically able to run due to a rather uncommon reason.
Listen up and enjoy!

Winter is coming. That means it's time to get more work in the gym. When it comes to getting leg work in, you have to have balance getting all of the major muscles targeted. With the major muscles, most can get trained by looking at leg exercises in the context of squatting vs. hinging.
Learn more about it on this episode.
