Injury Resiliency

Welcome to our accountability series, focussed on preventing injury and keeping you on track with your training and getting your best results.

Work you way through these short, bitesize episodes which are designed to keep you accountable to a short task or thought for you to consider towards your own training.

Any questions around any of these just ask

Consistency Focus (episode 1)

  1. Inconsistent training load is a major contributing factor in injury and persistent injury. 

  2. Expecting to much in the short term and not enough in the long term

  3. Consistency in rehab – have you stopped as soon as symptoms resolved.

Task: Evaluated your training over the past 3 months – how consistent has your training been?

Strength Focus - S&C & PLYOMETRICS (episode 2)

This is the second episode in our 4 part accountability series focussing on key tasks to help you stay injury free this year

Listen in as Sophie takes us through another great tip for us to work on this week

Any questions let us know

Training Load Management (episode 3)

  1. Don’t let mileage expectations derail progress – it might be that you are doing much less volume than before but it is still too much due to injury or inconsistent training. 

  2. if you are following a plan, is it based on where you are at or where you think you should be. Do you have a solid base?

  3. Are you prepared to adapt this program if it isn’t working.

  4. Are you ignoring pain too much

Task: look at your training plan – if you haven’t got one, time to create one or consider working with a coach.

Is it periodised to include periods of build and deload? Have you worked out which races are A, B, C if relevant – you can’t peak for all of them. If you are injured/coming back from injury – is it allowing your body to adapt?

Manage your racing expectations – you cannot peak for every one and if you try, you are risking injury/poor performance

Recovery (episode 4)

Recovery and Rest

  1. Do you intentionally plan in your rest days/recovery or is it an afterthought

  2. Overtrained or under. Recovered

  3. It can be both

  4. Sleep hygiene

  5. Nutrition – do you know what your diet looks like – if not fill out the food diary on training lab
