Don’t just dive right back in, build the movement quality, reset the system, make it worthwhile, then build the volume and intensity. Thank us later when you hit that new level 🫡

There’s nothing better than seeing an athlete’s hard work start to show up where it matters.
This spotlight isn’t just about the result, it’s about everything that happened behind it.
Phil has had quite the 2026 so far.
🥇 2x HYROX wins
⚡ Continued improvements across HYROX
🏊♂️🚴♂️🏃♂️ Ironman distance PB
Different events. Different demands. Same athlete.
And a pretty impressive one at that. 👏🔥
Congratulations Phil, what a year so far.
HYROX coaching coming soon. 👀
Sport Specific Adaptations > Sport Specific Exercises
Many athletes will ask “what is the best exercise for this…” but really we should be asking “what adaption do we want to create?” Then we can prescribe exercises to achieve it.
Strength training should target the physiological qualities that’s underlined endurance performance.
That’s why prescription is more important than exercise selection.
Ask yourself:
💪🏻What adaptation am I chasing?
💪🏻What load, speed and intent will create that adaptation?
💪🏻Is this the most effective way to achieve it?
Same exercise, different outcome 💥
How you structure your exercises matters.
Strength training does not have one purpose. Take this deadlift as an example, lift heavy and controlled, you’re primarily developing maximal strength. Lift a lighter load with max speed, you’re now developing power.
Maximal strength adaptations:
💪🏻Increase max force production
💪🏻increase motor unit recruitment
💪🏻Increase maximal strength
💪🏻Increase inter/intramuscular coordination
💪🏻Increase tendon stiffness and load tolerance
Power adaptations:
💪🏻Increase rate of force development
💪🏻Increase neural drive
💪🏻Increase force transfer
💪🏻Increase muscle-tendon stiffness
Next time, ask yourself
“what adaptation are you trying to create?”

Your swim training changes.
Your bike training changes.
Your run training changes.
So why is your strength programme still the same?
One of the biggest mistakes I see endurance athletes make is keeping the same gym sessions all year round. The exercises, sets, reps and volume stay exactly the same from January through to race season.
But the goal of strength training should evolve as your season evolves.
🏋️ Off-season: Build.
⚡ Pre-season: Convert.
🏁 Race season: Maintain.
Trying to keep progressing every lift while your swim, bike and run training ramps up usually leads to one thing: unnecessary fatigue.
The best race-season strength programmes don’t do more.
They do what’s needed to help you perform on race day.
Has your strength training changed since the start of the year?

Run Stronger Clinic - Hyrox Edition ⚡️
This weekend we had a great session breaking down the key components of efficient running for HYROX athletes. From technique and pacing to running under fatigue, we focused on practical skills that athletes can take straight into training and race day.
Hyrox athletes can often over look the importance of running, so we are looking to change this! Hyrox is an endurance event and it rewards the runners!
It’s easy to think running is just about logging more kilometres, but small improvements in technique and strategy can make a huge difference to both performance and efficiency.
Gym Strong ➡️ Run Strong
A huge thank you to everyone who came along, asked questions, and put in the work. It’s always great to see athletes investing in the fundamentals.
What would you like to see at our next clinic? 👇

Whether it’s London or another Spring marathon, you need to use this time wisely. ⚡️
Marathon training is rewarding but its a hard toll on the body
You need to begin to build the body that will tolerate the load of marathon training, get a head of those injuries and enhance your performance.
In a few short months, you will be beginning your build and you need a body that can tolerate the miles, the pounding of the tarmac.
If you’d like to the most out your marathon training, please DM us the word ‘MARATHON’
