Strength training: the cheapest injury insurance you will ever buy 💪

A meta analysis in found:

🏋️‍♀️ Strength training reduces injury risk by > 60%
🏋️ Increasing volume and intensity led to a reduction in sports injury risks.
🏋️‍♂️ A 10% increase in strength training volume reduced the risk of injury by > 4%

What does this mean for you? Slowly build up and integrate strength training into your program. Simple progressive overload, more robustness, less injuries.

Tiarna came in for testing a few months ago. She has since completed in the mixed doubles Hyrox world championships achieving a new Pb. Check out her thoughts on her testing with us:

I had my vo2max and lactate threshold tested for the first time at elite performance. Stephen was very professional and talked me through the whole process. After completing the test, Stephen had my results to me the next day, explaining all of the data and where I should focus my training. From this my running output has improved significantly which has allowed me to take my training and competition performance to higher levels.

came to us to see if he could complete a marathon at short notice. We tested him and worked out come pacing strategies to help with his event. Check out his thoughts on his time with us:

“I booked in for a VO2 max and lactate threshold test just to see where I was at and whether it would even be physically possible for me to complete a marathon with only about four and a half weeks of training. Stephen ran the tests and gave me the confidence that not only could I do it, but that I’d be able to handle it well. That insight gave me the push I needed — I went on to run the marathon and broke the four-hour mark, which was my goal based on the testing data. It was brilliant to get that kind of clarity and reassurance, and I’ll definitely be back in for testing ahead of my next challenge.”

Testimonial from on his recent testing with us here

I recently reached out to Stephen for lactate profile and vo2 max testing. I wanted to take the guess work out of my training and improve my performance for upcoming hyrox and running events. I was given a detailed report on where my current levels are at and guidelines on training in specific zones and what areas need work. I’m looking forward already for the reassessment.
