ELASTICITY for SPEED - part I
In a 2 part series we examine the hows and whys of increasing tendon elasticity through improved flexibility, circulation, eccentric loading, and neuromuscular control. We apply this to a program to achieve more efficient running mechanics, allowing you to store and utilize elastic energy effectively and potentially improving running speed.
ACTING on IMPULSE
Training Impulse (TRIMP) is a well-established metric used to quantify training load in athletes by assessing the intensity and duration of physical exertion. It integrates heart rate data into a formula that reflects an athlete's physiological response to training, facilitating effective monitoring and management of training loads. Dive in
blue-arsed fly
My grandmother described hockey as a game played by jockeys running about like blue-arsed flies. It’s true the game is built on short, frequent,high-intensity efforts which are characterized as alactic-mixed with anaerobic sprints. We learn more about alactic training for hockey.
