Join Carla Robbins and Nicholas Simpson, experts from Vital Strength and Physiology Inc, as they dissect common misconceptions in conditioning for sport, hybrid athlete training, and running form and gait. Drawing from their extensive experience working with national teams, Olympic athletes, and diverse sports backgrounds, they debunk myths and offer practical insights to optimize performance. The jury is out: most coaches severely lack an understanding of the “C” in “S&C”. In this episode, Carla and Nicholas explore misconceptions such as the tendency to train harder than necessary, the obsession with heart rate zones, and the lack of understanding around Zone 2 training. They also emphasize the importance of sport-specific conditioning, dispelling the belief that endurance training compromises strength gains. Additionally, they delve into the significance of form and gait, discussing how proper training foundations can enhance performance.
