The Strong Savvy Cyclist & Triathlete Podcast Menachem Brodie

Today, many cycling and triathlon coaches are writing "strength training programs" for their athletes. While there are good intensions behind this, we're going to briefly cover why they should NOT be doing this, why attaining a certification is only the start of your journey as a coach, and how you can learn a lot from the current stock market (6/2020) as to how trends and "what's hot" right now can lead you or your athlete to pain and suffering, NOT performance.

Today's episode, we talk about why these mistakes are made instead of being corrected, and how YOU can completely transform your abilities as an athlete and coach, by swimming against the current.

Leandro Sgallari is a triathlon coach based out of Buenos Aires, Argentina and is a graduate of the Strength Training for Cyclists Certification course. Leandro was not always an endurance athlete, and in fact comes from a background of Rugby. 
Leandro's coaching practice is incredibly special, as he does deep dives into data, but ALSO puts a huge emphasis on mindfulness and awareness. We'll hear how Leandro works to balance these two things for each individual athlete to help them find the right blend of art & science, for them, their needs, and their results.

As the riding season waxes, many cyclists & triathletes (and their coaches) either cut out their strength training completely- less some "core".....but what IS true core training?
This week we get into why many make the mistake of focusing on the abs, and how you can get far more out of your core training than just super long planking abilities.

We cover:
- 6 exercises to get started with TRUE core strength   
- Why they're each important.  
- 2 quick and easy at-home tests you can do
- A simple (but not easy) change you can make for some of your movements to help them have a greater training value

Women's fitness and training has come a long way in the last 10 years. From Research focusing on women and their unique needs, to how women's health and fitness needs progress as they go through the prenatal and postpartum periods.

Starting a business can be really daunting. Starting a fitness studio can be petrifying, with keeping it going proving to be incredibly hard.

This week we dive into 2 topics that are inter-related, yet one is not talked about enough...in my opinion.

Process oriented fitness goals, and goals in general, are one of the secrets to becoming a top performer in any field. So why is it that we are so focused on EVENT goals: Lose 5 pounds, Gain 20 watts, shave 2 minutes off your 40k TT....yes, we have to measure our progress, but what it learning how to be better than the last workout and focusing on that, will help you get better results?



TSS and strength training has been a topic that has been brought up a number of times over the last few months. While we do need to think about Training Stress,  WHAT you're doing in your strength training will have a big impact on if/when/how we would use TSS.



Lastly, For the next 24 hours the Strength Training for Cyclists Certification is open. This is a super short opening, to allow those coaches and athletes who are looking to get more out of their time at home, and their strength training. After today the course will close until Fall 2020.
