  Beth joined us at SFE having lost all confidence in her running due to injury. We quickly identified through our screening process that although very strong in certain areas, she lacked strength and confidence in the areas that would allow her to get over injury and back to running.

  Use this training tool to gain a psychological edge for your next race or event 07.08.2026 20min

  In this weeks podcast Kriss talks about building a PTP plan - a framework that you can use to give clarity and confidence in the lead up to an event, training camp or expedition. We were introduced to PTP or the 'Practical, Tactical & Psychological' framework by Sports Psychologist and friend of the podcast Stu Holliday, and a number of our clients have since used the approach to some great success. From kit lists and travel logistics, to checkpoint locations and positive mantras  - there is so much to remember in the lead up to an important event. So get a pen and paper ready to take some notes, there's plenty to take away from this podcast. If you want to reach out to Stu Holliday regarding his work you can find him @endurancemindcoaching https://www.endurancemindcoaching.com/ The PTP Plan: Practical, Tactical, Psychological Prep for Endurance Events Chris Hendee introduces The Strength for Endurance podcast and explains how psychology and planning can improve endurance performance. He shares a simple framework learned from sports psychologist Stuart Holiday called the PTP Plan—Practical, Tactical, Psychological—to create clarity and confidence for races, training camps, and long events like ultras or Ironman. Tactical planning includes defining what the event means, what success looks like, enjoyment, and building a strategy by segmenting the course between checkpoints, aid stations, transitions, terrain, and pacing. Practical planning covers race-day admin, schedules, kit lists, drop bags, clothing options, route familiarity, and contingency preparation. Psychological planning focuses on pre-race mindset, choosing intentions, gratitude, managing inner dialogue, and specific tactics for tough moments (chunking, counting, music, data, tagging onto others, and refocusing on the next checkpoint). He encourages writing the plan down, refining it, and sharing it.

  The importance of training for elevation and how to integrate it into your week 12.06.2026 18min

  When it comes to injury resiliency and building long term running performance, hill work is a fundamental element.  Many runners often fall short in this area and maybe because of where they live or convenience, the majority of their running is mostly done on flat ground. But if we want to bring the next level of conditioning to our tendons, ligaments and muscles, having a regular dose of incline and decline work is going to be really important. Even more so if you are training for races or events where the elevation is significant. In todays episode Kriss talks about seeking out elevation with intent, but also ways to recreate it artificially when access to the hills is limited.  (00:00) Podcast Introduction (00:40) Why Elevation Matters (01:14) Eccentric Load Reality (01:39) Training Without Mountains (03:06) Hill Work Weekly Habit (04:30) Choosing Gradient Safely (05:07) Hill Interval Dosage (05:55) Don't Skip Descents (07:01) Repetition Builds Resilience (07:32) Intensity Over Volume (08:20) Strength Work Alternatives (09:19) Modern Leg Tolerance (10:08) Dosage Over Romance (11:14) Mountain Leg Add Ons (12:15) Why Descents Scare Us (13:11) City Runner Elevation Plan (14:50) Pedestal This Training (16:14) Injury Proof Intensity (16:56) Non Negotiable Skill Work (17:54) Wrap Up And Feedback Learn more about Strength For Endurance: Download our FREE Return to Run guide: https://www.strengthforendurance.com/return-to-run-guide Find Out About Online or Face to Face Coaching Programs: https://www.strengthforendurance.com/ Receive weekly coaching tips and masterclasses straight to your inbox:  https://www.strengthforendurance.com/sfe-inner-circle Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok and Youtube @strengthforendurance

  Training Sessions & Training Fuel: We need to value them with equal importance 15.05.2026 17min

  We could be lead to believe that nutrition is well covered in the endurance world. We're more clued up than ever with the majority of runners regularly stocking up on their gels, chews and hydration tablets. But this isn't where most fall short. It's in the day to day nutritional behaviours where it's really affecting athletes the most - with underfueling having a significant and dangerous impact on the rate of injury and poor long term health. Making sure we have enough energy available to show up and train everyday is vital, yet why do so many miss the mark? Listen in as Kriss discusses this more.

The tech is impressive, the data thorough and the cost reflects it.  However many of us come away none the wiser.  We get told what we need to do - but these new positions or technique changes can be hard to implement when fatigued or over longer durations of time and we end up going back to our old ways  Listen in as we discuss how to get the most from the analysis you've recieved (00:00) Podcast Intro (00:40) Why Mechanics Matter (00:53) The Analysis Industry (01:52) Strength Missing Link (03:41) Why Cues Fail Late (05:13) Real World Weaknesses (06:37) Simple Drills Anywhere (07:04) Using Gait As Baseline (07:57) Avoid Smoke And Mirrors (09:10) What To Demand From Coaches (09:39) Run Economy Under Fatigue (09:59) Form Cues and Gait Cycle (10:23) Warmup Drills for Resilience (10:56) Strength Builds Confidence (11:31) Injury History and Weak Links (12:16) Maintenance Prevents Breakdowns (13:13) You Are an Athlete (14:39) Individualized Strength and Ratios (15:54) Pros Do the Basics (16:38) Sustainable Training Model (17:03) Wrap Up and Listener Questions Learn more about Strength For Endurance: Download our FREE Return to Run guide: https://www.strengthforendurance.com/return-to-run-guide Find Out About Online or Face to Face Coaching Programs: https://www.strengthforendurance.com/ Receive weekly coaching tips and masterclasses straight to your inbox:  https://www.strengthforendurance.com/sfe-inner-circle Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok and Youtube @strengthforendurance
