STRENGTH TRAINING
About
Strength training has long been a polarising topic for endurance athletes. In the modern day the best endurance athletes in the world perform regular, structured and periodised strength training. Strength training has been shown to reduce the risk of injury, increase the ability to produce sustainable force, increase rate of force development, improve efficiency and delay the onset of fatigue. The volume and type of strength training is a crucial piece of the performance jigsaw for endurance athletes.
