Strength For Endurance Podcast Kriss Hendy

The term 'hybrid athlete' can get thrown around alot, but when it comes to endurance events SFE client Ben is a great example of the complexity of navigating both maximal strength and maximal endurance goals. Ben came to us at Strength For Endurance earlier in the year with the goal of achieving a deadlift PB of 200kg, but had also booked in Ride London 100 and Epona 100 Ultra (100mile trail race across 14,000 ft elevation) within just a few months of one another. The complexity of combining these types of goals takes a great deal of skill and experience as well as constant feedback and accountability between athlete and coach. Listen in as Kriss & Ben discuss how he not only PB’d his deadlift but is on track to completing Epona in record time.
