Kriss Hendy - Head Coach
Kriss Hendy has been working within the endurance community for over 15 years now, studying, coaching, supporting (husband to an elite level athlete) and now helping other coaches and athletes within a mentoring and consulting capacity.
He is owner of Strength For Endurance, whose multi-disciplinary approach ensures athletes are employing a comprehensive approach to their endurance training; in order to overcome injury, prevent overtraining and keep doing what they love for many years to come.
When it comes to preparing for an endurance race or adventure, the training sessions are the easy bit. But what’s rarely considered is how this individual is going to integrate a high volume training program onto an already demanding work, family lifestyle. When someone is placing so much demand on their body physically, factors such as blood work and hormones, adequate fuelling, training load management, psychology and having a fundamental level of strength and conditioning are essential. From many years of professional and personal experience Kriss is passionate about raising the standard of coaching and education to the endurance community.
WHAT WE STAND FOR
It’s a long-held belief in the training community that pain is just part of the game; that we should be putting up with injuries, aches and daily pains as part of the pursuit of better performance.
However, pain can be a warning sign of a much bigger problem that’s just down the road. The reality of those niggling pains, or ignoring irregular or absent periods, can lead long term damage, bone stress fractures, REDs and even fertility issues for both men and women.
We’re here to change that.
As well as strength training, your hormone levels, blood-work and bone strength are all taken into account. By facilitating health and performance,
we aim to turn preconceptions on their head, and help you to listen to the warning signs before they can take effect.
We use strength and conditioning as a framework to teach the other elements needed for recovery: how to monitor and manage the amount of work you're doing, incorporate better nutrition, and integrate all of this into your lifestyle.
You can then apply this framework for the rest of your life.
“WE OPTIMISE YOUR TRAINING BY CONSIDERING THE VARIABLES YOU'RE NOT.”
