Helping high-performance humans build and maintain strength for sport and life.

Founded by Erin Carson, ECFIT Strength is a sport-specific approach to strength training designed to support & complement high-volume endurance sessions as well as many other sports. With a focus on core elements of functional movement, the ECFIT Strength Coaches work with many of the world’s best triathletes, cyclists, and runners every day from home base in Boulder, Co. These athletes do the kind of work at home and in the gym that allows them to train harder, longer, and without injury, then show up at the starting line ready to compete at the highest level.

Jaxson would like to remind you that not every day needs to be a hard day.

Athletes are usually pretty good at doing more. Another workout, another mile, another little bit of effort because we think that’s what’s going to move us forward.

Sometimes the harder thing is knowing when enough is enough.
Recovery is part of training. Easy days should actually be easy. And occasionally, according to Jaxson, the best use of a treadmill is sitting on it and supervising everyone else.

Who else needs a little more Jaxson energy in their training this week? 😂

Standing decompression breathing. It looks simple, and that’s kind of the point.

The Foundation Series is about getting back to the way our bodies were designed to move. We spend a LOT of time sitting, looking at screens and putting our bodies in the same positions day after day.

Foundation work helps us reconnect with better movement patterns, create some space and build the body back up.

This breathing exercise is one small piece of that. Better posture, better awareness and learning how to use your body more effectively before asking it to do more.

I love the basics. They work.

What does your body need more of right now: movement, breathing or a little bit of both?

The days are slow, but the years are fast. ❤️

I think about that a lot when I look at photos like this one with my mom. We spend so much time thinking about what's next that it's easy to miss the moments we'll someday wish we could have back.

Spend time with your people. Take the picture. Laugh a little longer. Be where your feet are.

The years go fast. Tag someone below you need to make a few more memories with.

How are you? Like, really? ❤️

Just popping in with a little reminder to make sure you’re doing something that makes you happy today. It doesn’t have to be productive, part of your training plan or something you can check off a list. Go outside. Call someone you love. Move your body because it feels good. Play with your dog. Take the afternoon off if you can.

We spend a lot of time focused on what we need to accomplish. Don’t forget to make a little room for the things that simply make life feel good.

What are you doing for YOU today?

Time for a proper (re)introduction 👋

Meet Dr. Pat Helma — "Doc Helma" to our community — ECFIT's sports chiropractor and one of the people helping build this thing with me.

He's spent over 30 years in clinical practice, was named Sports Chiropractor of the Year, and has worked as team physician for the AVP, the World Surf Tour, the PRCA rodeo circuit, and local high school athletes. He's also part of our Foundation Training core education team — the same method he uses to help keep our athletes' bodies functioning at their peak.

Drop a 🙌 if you remember Doc from way back, or a 👋 if this is the first time you're meeting him!

Good coaching requires paying attention to more than the workout.

Athletes don’t walk through the door as a collection of sets, reps and numbers. They bring the rest of their lives with them, and how they’re feeling on any given day matters.

That’s why I’ve always believed coaching starts with seeing the person in front of you. The work we do should support the athlete as a whole, not just improve a metric on paper.

At the end of the day, I want people to leave feeling better than when they arrived. Stronger is great, but better is bigger than that.

Mobility Monday reminder: the goal isn’t to see how far you can stretch. It’s to create movement your body can actually use.

I want athletes to have access to the range they need, but just as importantly, I want them to be able to control it. That combination of mobility, stability and strength is what helps us move well when we’re running, riding, lifting, golfing or simply doing the things we love.

A little intentional work goes a long way, especially when you’re consistent with it.

What area of your body could use a little extra attention this week?

Drop it below and maybe we’ll cover it in an upcoming Mobility Monday. 👇

Your standing desk doesn’t have to be fancy. Exhibit A: a stack of Rogue boxes.

For those of us who spend a lot of the day at a computer, it’s easy to stay in the same position for hours without realizing it. Sitting isn’t inherently bad, but our bodies do better when we give them some variety.

Stand up. Shift positions. Walk around while you’re on a call. Give your hips, spine and shoulders something different to do throughout the day.

I care a lot about what you do during your workouts, but those few hours each week are only one piece of the puzzle. How you use your body during the rest of your day matters too.

Anyone else have a very sophisticated standing desk setup like mine?

Tight hips seem to be something a LOT of you are thinking about, so let’s keep talking about them.

Here I’m working with Sidney on hip mobility, but the goal isn’t simply to get “more flexible.” We want the hip to move well, control the range it has and be able to use that movement when we ask more of the body in training.

Your hips play a role in so much of what you do, whether you’re running, riding, lifting, golfing or simply moving through your day.

When they aren’t moving well, the body is very good at finding another way to get the job done, and that’s where compensations can start to show up.

Mobility isn’t about forcing more range. It’s about creating movement you can actually use.

If tight hips are something you’re working on, save this one and spend a little more time giving your hips the attention they deserve.

Kona is getting closer, and I want to know who from this community will be on that starting line!

If you’re an age-group athlete heading to the IRONMAN World Championship this year, tell me in the comments. I’d love to know who’s racing, give you a shoutout as we get closer to race day and cheer you on through these final weeks of preparation.

Getting to Kona is a huge accomplishment in itself, and I know how much work happens long before anyone reaches that start line.

So, who’s headed to the Big Island? Drop your name below (or tag someone who is!) so we can support you along the way. 🌺
