Discover how strength training can make you a faster, more resilient runner. Learn science-backed strategies to improve running economy, power, and injury prevention through targeted strength workouts. This guide covers the best strength exercises for runners, how to combine lifting with running, and a free sample training plan. Whether you're training for a 10K, marathon, or just want to feel stronger on the road, this article provides actionable tips to elevate your performance.

A strength and conditioning coach helps athletes improve performance through structured, science-based training that builds strength, speed, endurance, and resilience. Whether you're competing in CrossFit, field sports, or combat athletics, an S&C coach provides tailored programming, assessment, and recovery strategies to ensure consistent progress and reduce injury risk. This article breaks down what strength and conditioning coaches actually do, how they differ from personal trainers, and why their role is essential for serious athletes. Learn how expert coaching turns effort into measurable results — both in-person and online.

Curious if plyometric training can boost your CrossFit performance? This guide breaks down how explosive power and repeatability impact your lifts, jumps, and WODs — and whether you need more targeted plyo work. Learn when and how to train for bar speed, bounce, and efficiency.

A complete guide to plyometric and explosive training for parkour and freerunning athletes. Learn how to build power, control, and resilience with proven methods for landing, jumping, and rebounding. Perfect for improving performance while minimizing injury risk.

Conditioning isn’t just about suffering through metcons — it’s about smart, strategic training that builds a real conditioning. In this post, I move beyond theory and dive into practical methods for improving aerobic base, anaerobic threshold, and VO₂max. Whether you're training for performance or just want to recover faster and perform better, these strategies will help you level up your conditioning with intention, not guesswork.

In part one of this series, breaks down how to structure conditioning for CrossFit using a simple 3-zone model, explore why metcons alone aren't enough for serious progress, and outlines practical testing methods to assess your engine and guide smarter training.

Part 1 of this 3-part series explores the foundations of strength training for parkour athletes. Learn how to build absolute and relative strength, improve landing mechanics, and prevent injuries through smart, structured programming. Includes benchmarks, training strategies, and a sample weekly split designed for both style and speed athletes. Ideal for freerunners ready to level up.

Online coaching isn’t just a trend—it’s a smarter, more flexible way for experienced athletes to train. With customized programming, real-time feedback, and data-driven adjustments, you get expert support without the limits of location or schedule.

With just weeks to go before the competition, should you still be cutting weight? In this post, I break down why last-minute fat loss might hurt more than help—impacting recovery, strength, and performance when you need it most.

Is everyone telling you about the magic of creatine? Curious if you should try it? Read below for some key points from my new article.

Why CrossFitters Should Supplement with Creatine:

1. Improved Strength and Power

2. Enhanced Anaerobic Performance

3. Faster Recovery

4. Cognitive Benefits

Beta-alanine is a supplement that has the potential to reduce fatigue by buffering the ions that are released during lactate production. This allows the athlete to push harder and sustain their efforts for longer periods of time. Research indicates its especially effective for short-duration (1-10 min) efforts and can therefore be very useful for Crossfit athletes. Read the article for directions on how to use the supplement

The article outlines a simple step-by-step protocol that helps to progressively bring an athlete back based on their individual loading capacity which is a helpful tool when managing tendinopathy in an athletic population.

In this article, I discuss the rehabilitation of tendons in athletic individuals, drawing on the methods I have gathered and used. The focus is on understanding tendon injuries, recovery mechanisms, and effective interventions. Additionally, the article outlines the stages of tendon injuries and details a six-phase rehabilitation process. That starts with rebuilding the tissue and ends with a structured reintegration in one’s sport.

Recovery is the key to fitness progress and by down-regulating our nervous system after training we can kickstart that recovery process.

Too often do we rush straight back into “life” without taking a little time to down-regulate after an intense training session. Doing a proper cooling & calming down can significantly improve recovery and therefore boost training progress. Simple things like some conscious breathing and easy cyclical work can do the trick.

The efficiency of our motor patterns determines our “skill”. The blog discusses three mechanisms that can be used to strengthen our neural pathways and improve our skills: specificity, association, and persistency.

• Practice often

• Practice perfect

• Practice non-fatigued

• Practice related skills

• Practice positions (isometrics)

Our central nervous system is responsible for coordinating action within and between muscles. A certain sequence of those actions is called a motor pattern. Improving proficiency in these motor patterns leads to:

Improved muscle recruitment

Better force transfer

Efficient use of energy
