Breaking Down Acceleration.

As a coach having a framework to help you assess movements allows you to better focus on the key positions and shapes you’d like to see.

Here is a breakdown of one of our athletes performing a 10m accel. We like to look at these key positions to give better feedback to our athletes and get the change we are looking for.

Understanding what you’re looking at is key to being able to provide effective cues to your athletes.

If you’d like to know more about the systems we use every day with our athletes send us a DM!

Full extension isn’t a detail. It’s the first milestone that matters. 🦵

After an ACL reconstruction, everyone talks about strength and getting back to running. The quieter goal is getting the knee completely straight, and it sets up everything that comes after.
Here’s what the research shows:

▪️ Losing just 3–5° of extension was linked to worse pain, function and satisfaction 14 years after surgery (Shelbourne & Gray, 2009)

▪️ An extension deficit at 3 weeks post-op carries 2.3× the risk of cyclops syndrome. At 6 weeks, it’s 8× (Delaloye et al., 2020, n = 3,633)

▪️ Range at 6 weeks was the only significant predictor of needing manipulation under anaesthesia (Marquez-Lara et al., 2024)

A cyclops lesion is a nodule of scar tissue that forms in front of the graft and can block full extension. Once it forms and causes symptoms, the standard treatment is more surgery. Prevention is the goal, and prevention starts in the first few weeks.

That’s why our rehab starts with early, structured range-of-motion work. We don’t wait for the knee to sort itself out.

Win extension early. Then keep it.

Great to have Jack Bowen in for a little rehab intensive a few weeks ago under the close eye of Kalen O Donoghue | Physiotherapist

Here is a little insight on some of the things we were working on.

If your an athlete looking to get on top of an injury or just wanting to be in the best shape for next season send us a DM!

Tired isn’t a diagnosis.

There are four types of fatigue, and each one needs a different fix. If you treat them all the same, you either push an athlete who needed backing off, or you write off a session you could have saved.

Here’s how we decide on the floor.

Step 1: Subjective screen. A quick pre-session check-in.

Green: no change, train as programmed.
Amber or Red: move to the objective test.

Step 2: Objective readiness. We look at CMJ causal metrics, groin squeeze and grip, compared against the athlete’s own baseline.

Under 10% drop: train as programmed.
10–20%: adjust, autoregulate or prime.
Over 20%: repurpose, rest or refer.

On an amber day, match the fix to the type:

→ Neuromuscular: hold intensity and cut volume, or turn the session into a primer before a big day.

→ Metabolic: drop density and protect quality. Give longer rests and fix fuelling.

→ Psychological: keep them training, just dial it back. Keep it moderate, familiar and low on cognitive load.

→ Systemic: damage limitation. Cut intensity and volume, and refer if systemic signs are present.

The goal is never just to get through the session. It’s to find the version of it that still chases adaptation.

Save this for your next amber day.

What are your key things you look for when analysing change of direction?

A lot of coaches struggle with the analysis of change of direction making it hard to be specific with your program prescription.

Keeping things simple and having two primary focuses:

1. How do they decelerate?

2. How do they project?

Allows us to narrow our focus when assessing an athlete’s change of direction, which helps pick up on things you may want to work on in your session or program.

Comment below if you’d like to see a full breakdown of how we analyse our athletes change of direction mechanics.

Block 1 is underway. And Brogan has officially joined the team 🚲

Sophie’s first 70.3 is a 1.9km swim, a 90km ride and a 21.1km run. You don’t build up to that by doing more every week. You build it with structure.

In this episode Sophie explains:
→ Why most of her week is easy, and why that’s deliberate
→ How her swim, bike and run sessions are laid out across the week
→ How we raise her training load without pushing her past what she can absorb

Every session has a purpose. Every week is tracked. That’s how a first-timer gets to the start line ready.

Swim. Bike. Run. Recover. Repeat.
