Kriss had the pleasure this week of sitting down with Dr Richard Blagrove, Lecturer in Physiology and currently the Programme Leader for the MSc Strength and Conditioning at Loughborough University. We first met Richard back in 2016 when he was Programme Director for the BSc Strength and Conditioning Science at St Mary's University, after recently publishing his book ‘Strength and Conditioning for Endurance Running'. Always an interesting and insightful discussion, Kriss and Richard deep dive into past and current research studIes and the applications these findings have on endurance athletes. From the consequences of chronic low energy availability on bone health markers, to setting strength standards for athletes and then onto the ‘optimal' formula for concurrent training, this podcast has some really interesting takeaways. We'd like to thank Richard for his time and knowledge shared on this podcast. Some of Richards other accolades that we feel we need to mention include: - His work at Birmingham City University as a Senior Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Science, where he was awarded a Senior Fellowship by the Higher Education Authority (2017). - Managed the sport science support to The Royal Ballet Company in London, and was Lead Strength and Conditioning Coach for Sport and Health Services. - Richard is an Accredited Strength and Conditioning Coach and previously a Director of the UK Strength and Conditioning Association. - He has provided strength and conditioning coaching support to numerous athletes over the last 12 years including several Olympic and Paralympic athletes. - Richards extensive work with middle- and long-distance runners provided the inspiration for his doctoral research which investigated the utility of strength-based exercise in adolescent distance runners.

He's here to talk to Rob about isometric testing and training, and why there has been a recent resurgence in its popularity. This includes how coaches can use the right metrics during isometric testing, and how the time points to measure athletes by changes based on their own needs and particular sport. For those working on a budget, Paul also explains the alternatives to force plates when testing, and the importance of real, hands-on experience as a coach. Paul also discusses isometric training and its link to dynamic performance, such as the benefits it can offer in comparison to more traditional strength training techniques. Paul tells us about how coaches can manipulate isometric training to get the results we want, in addition to eccentric training - and when it is appropriate to apply it.
