Simon Ward, The High Performance Human Triathlon Podcast
Health & Fitness
In 1995 I wrote my first article for 220 triathlon magazine about strength training for triathletes. My approach has changed a little since then, but over the last 27 years, I have remained a strong advocate for triathletes to make strength training a staple part of their training.
My guest today is a woman who works with many of the top long-distance triathletes including the top 3 female athletes at the recent 70.3 World Championships: Taylor Knibb, Paula Findlay & Emma Pallant Brown.
Erin Carson is based in that other triathlon Mecca, Boulder, Colorado and she is going to share with us her thoughts on why this is such an important part of your programme and how you can incorporate mobility and strength work into what I’m sure is an already busy schedule.
Erin is very much hands-on with her clients and seeks to find realistic solutions to keep them interested and engaged.
When an athlete like Mirinda Carfare tells you that she wants to get stronger but not build muscle, it’s important to have a few other tools in your bag.
Erin was super enthusiastic as you might expect from someone speaking about her favourite topic as we chatted about:
