I then like to supplement with stretch cord work to get an additional upper-body stimulus. crab walk). Second, to gain mass, you need to have a surplus of calories available. Key takeaways from Cycling Science by Stephen Cheung and Mike Zabala. The studies and meta-analyses summarised below enrolled triathletes or duathletes, or investigated the impact of strength training on both cycling and running performance. This course covers basic physiology, athlete assessment, and programming techniques necessary for triathletes and coaches that want to incorporate strength training into their plans. See the full list of shownotes here, and all Q&A episode audio files here. Do leave 8 hours or more between your endurance and heavy strength training workouts if you train both modalities in the same day, to avoid or minimise interference. The running group saw a 4.7% improvement in performance compared to the control group. Despite significant scientific evidence to support heavy lifting, endurance athletes continue to worry about gaining too much muscle and the perceived negative performance consequences that come with it. Many of these aspects are and should be top-of-mind especially for masters athletes. Let's lay down some ground rules for this phase: You have to make this phase progressive. Let's summarise and make it short and sweet. Ready-made training plans are the perfect choice for triathletes on a tight budget. It is not by any means evidence-based. So do it now, and you won't have to worry about it later. If you prefer a ready-to-go implementation that is effective and affordable and tested and proven by hundreds of athletes, I encourage you to check out my 19-week strength training program specifically designed for triathlon performance. Awesome article. Most triathlon coaches will agree, strength training for triathletes requires a unique approach compared to athletes who rely on explosive strength and fast-twitch power. I highly recommend you listen to episodes 81 and 45 in particular. You have to make this phase progressive. The same thing goes for the order of workouts. However, this meta-analysis is from 2010 whereas Cycling Science is from this 2017. However, we still need a bit more research on this to make it completely conclusive. Do, optionally, include plyometrics, but be very careful and use a conservative progression to avoid injury. 1. It isn’t too early to start by any means, I think it’s a good time to start. Now onto the actual weightlifting. *If you don't have time to create your own strength training plan from the information in this article, don't worry, I've done it for you! Note that for your explosive strength workouts you may need to reduce the %1RM of this progression to still be able to lift explosively. However, performance is of course affected by injury. The caveat to this is if you are doing only 2 workouts per week in each discipline and you don't have time for any additional workouts. __CONFIG_colors_palette__{"active_palette":0,"config":{"colors":{"f3080":{"name":"Main Accent","parent":-1},"f2bba":{"name":"Main Light 10","parent":"f3080"},"trewq":{"name":"Main Light 30","parent":"f3080"},"poiuy":{"name":"Main Light 80","parent":"f3080"},"f83d7":{"name":"Main Light 80","parent":"f3080"},"frty6":{"name":"Main Light 45","parent":"f3080"},"flktr":{"name":"Main Light 80","parent":"f3080"}},"gradients":[]},"palettes":[{"name":"Default","value":{"colors":{"f3080":{"val":"rgba(23, 23, 22, 0.7)"},"f2bba":{"val":"rgba(23, 23, 22, 0.5)","hsl_parent_dependency":{"h":60,"l":0.09,"s":0.02}},"trewq":{"val":"rgba(23, 23, 22, 0.7)","hsl_parent_dependency":{"h":60,"l":0.09,"s":0.02}},"poiuy":{"val":"rgba(23, 23, 22, 0.35)","hsl_parent_dependency":{"h":60,"l":0.09,"s":0.02}},"f83d7":{"val":"rgba(23, 23, 22, 0.4)","hsl_parent_dependency":{"h":60,"l":0.09,"s":0.02}},"frty6":{"val":"rgba(23, 23, 22, 0.2)","hsl_parent_dependency":{"h":60,"l":0.09,"s":0.02}},"flktr":{"val":"rgba(23, 23, 22, 0.8)","hsl_parent_dependency":{"h":60,"l":0.09,"s":0.02}}},"gradients":[]},"original":{"colors":{"f3080":{"val":"rgb(23, 23, 22)","hsl":{"h":60,"s":0.02,"l":0.09}},"f2bba":{"val":"rgba(23, 23, 22, 0.5)","hsl_parent_dependency":{"h":60,"s":0.02,"l":0.09,"a":0.5}},"trewq":{"val":"rgba(23, 23, 22, 0.7)","hsl_parent_dependency":{"h":60,"s":0.02,"l":0.09,"a":0.7}},"poiuy":{"val":"rgba(23, 23, 22, 0.35)","hsl_parent_dependency":{"h":60,"s":0.02,"l":0.09,"a":0.35}},"f83d7":{"val":"rgba(23, 23, 22, 0.4)","hsl_parent_dependency":{"h":60,"s":0.02,"l":0.09,"a":0.4}},"frty6":{"val":"rgba(23, 23, 22, 0.2)","hsl_parent_dependency":{"h":60,"s":0.02,"l":0.09,"a":0.2}},"flktr":{"val":"rgba(23, 23, 22, 0.8)","hsl_parent_dependency":{"h":60,"s":0.02,"l":0.09,"a":0.8}}},"gradients":[]}}]}__CONFIG_colors_palette__, Carbohydrate intake in racing – a case for going very high with Aitor Viribay Morales (Astana Pro Team) | EP#269, Nutrition at the cycling World Tour level with Robert Gorgos (Bora-Hansgrohe nutritionist) | EP#267, Developing the future stars of triathlon with coach Joachim Willén | EP#266, Nutrition for endurance and ultra-endurance athletes with Trent Stellingwerff, PhD | EP#265. Does that seem too early to start strength, or any thoughts there? So after already cycling for 2-3 hours, strength training may make you more economical, even if there's no difference during that first couple of hours. You don’t need to do three sets per exercise any longer. For a good summary of the evidence of various types of resistance training (including things like swimming with paddles) see the article Is Resistance Training In Swimming Effective? Let me know how it goes in the comments below. You'd do three to four exercises in each session as discussed, and then rotate in the exercises you didn't do in the next session, and so on. As for what exercises to choose, there's plenty that you could choose from that will all give you good results. Lifting weights used to be a hotly debated topic in endurance sports, but the pendulum has swung. There are indications that heavy strength training (three sets of one to five reps heavy weight pull-downs) can improve performance, and possibly have positive effects on stroke mechanics. Cycling and strength training: go heavy on the weights! With all the triathlon training you do, it is unlikely that you'd get this surplus of energy without very consciously trying to. Second, you only need to lift fast in the concentric part of the lift. I interviewed Dr Stephen Cheung in a two-part interview on That Triathlon Show about the excellent Cycling Science book: That doesn't mean it's not valid, but it's important to make that distinction. 3. This guide https://www.aqfsports.com/blogs/news/how-to-squat-properly-squat-tips-and-benefits also tells the proper way of doing squat. Individual coaching is hands down the best option for any athlete (beginner to advanced, sprint to IRONMAN) looking to get the very most out of their training and reach their potential. Hausswirth 2010 - Endurance and strength training effects on physiological and muscular parameters during prolonged cycling. Thank you so much Enrico! Ken Mierke, two-time World Champion triathlete (Disabled Division, 1997,1998 ) and exercise physiologist, coaches cyclists and triathletes, from beginner to professional. “Combined, they will offer conference participants a look at real results, as well as scientific research, which offers a wholistic understanding to strength training. But the point is, with plyometric, you need to be very careful, and very particular with your progression. That means placing your feet and hands in similar positions to where they might be in either the swim, bike or run. I am an avid listener to your podcast and just wanted to revisit all the advice and evidence about weight training I knew you had put together. You know that you should be lifting high weights, low reps. You know that you should incorporate some of the lifting as explosive lifting to benefit running, and some as maximum strength for cycling. For example, in a squat, you should be going down slowly and with control, stop at your starting position, and then produce a lot of force as quickly as you can to get up into standing position. It's not ideal, but it's better than nothing. What this means is … The other weekly session is an explosive strength session. I tend to use 50-60% 1RM so slightly higher. As I am planning now, I would wrap up the maximum/explosive phase in week 4 of “base 1” then move to maintenance through the season. That would be 2-4 resistance lower body exercises plus 200 jumps and 5-10 short sprints. You're busy and have other things going on than triathlon training, correct? Copyright 2021 Scientific Triathlon, all rights reserved. These are all physiological markers of performance, and economy and lactate threshold are two of the three most important ones in triathlon. You can improve your muscle strength through either increased muscle size or improved neuromuscular function. Your site is without doubt the best. If you go on a long bike ride, usually you may see your cadence drop towards the end of the ride. Don't make this a make-or-break thing, though. Interference is a situation where strength training and endurance training cancel out or greatly reduce the effect of the other training modality. I have also listed my own content (mostly podcast interviews). The conclusions for what the best type of strength training for cycling performance is, differs from that in running. For strength training, peripheral adaptations means high reps. You don’t need to add more training. With explosive strength training, the athletes had an improvement in economy of 4.8%. Paavolainen 1999 - Explosive-strength training improves 5-km running time by improving running economy and muscle power, Saunders 2006 - Short-term plyometric training improves running economy in highly trained middle and long distance runners, Berryman 2010 - Effect of plyometric vs. dynamic weight training on the energy cost of running, Barnes 2015 - Strategies to improve running economy, Paton 2005 - Combining explosive and high-resistance training improves performance in competitive cyclists, Aagaard 2011 - Effects of resistance training on endurance capacity and muscle fiber composition in young top-level cyclists, Ronnestad 2011 - Strength training improves 5-min all-out performance following 185 min of cycling, Ronnestad 2015 - Strength training improves performance and pedaling characteristics in elite cyclists, Millet 2002 - Effects of concurrent endurance and strength training on running economy and VO(2) kinetics, Hausswirth 2010 - Endurance and strength training effects on physiological and muscular parameters during prolonged cycling, Docherty 2000 - A proposed model for examining the interference phenomenon between concurrent aerobic and strength training, Garcia-Pallares 2012 - Strategies to Optimize Concurrent Training of Strength and Aerobic Fitness for Rowing and Canoeing, Denadai 2017 - Explosive Training and Heavy Weight Training are Effective for Improving Running Economy in Endurance Athletes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis, Berryman 2017 - Strength Training for Middle- and Long-Distance Performance: A Meta-Analysis, Balsalobre-Fernández 2016 - Effects of Strength Training on Running Economy in Highly Trained Runners: A Systematic Review With Meta-Analysis of Controlled Trials, Murlasits 2018 - The physiological effects of concurrent strength and endurance training sequence: A systematic review and meta-analysis, Ronnestad 2013 - Optimizing strength training for running and cycling endurance performance: A review, Vikmoen 2017 - Heavy strength training improves running and cycling performance following prolonged submaximal work in well‐trained female athletes, Mikkola 2011 - Effect of resistance training regimens on treadmill running and neuromuscular performance in recreational endurance runners. And close to ten percent improvement in exercise economy — the king of performance markers in long endurance events like Ironman and half Ironman triathlons. Glad you liked it! Recovery between sets should be 2-3 minutes. The best and most comprehensive strength training guide I have seen. This is very interesting. In case you wondered, here are the plyometrics exercises I recommend: You can also do foam rolling or stretching. Do 3 sets of 3-6 reps per exercise. Dr. David Höden is a lecturer in strength and conditioning, flexibility, endurance training, coaching, L-diagnostics, swimming, and triathlon at both the Institute of Sports Science and Karl Franzens University-Graz, as well as at the Federal Sports Academy and the College of Higher Education. FYI – I struggle to find good material on this. And I've seen this in a number of athletes I coach personally and hundreds of athletes that have used my 19-week triathlon strength training program. We offer plans for all distances (sprint to IRONMAN) and abilities (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced). You should be, seeing as I haven't included any evidence to back my claims up yet. *In the latest edition of my strength training program I prescribe just the front squat, Romanian deadlift, barbell row, leg press, glute ham raise, and close-grip lat pulldown. First, if you do it right, you'll lift heavy, and the number of reps will be low. Do a combination of heavy strength training (high weights, low reps) and heavy explosive strength training. They had a 5-week strength training program (which is a bit shorter than normal), but it had 3 times per week of strength training. They concluded that strength training can help prevent neuromuscular fatigue which causes the reduction in cadence. This phase is the meat and potatoes of your strength training program. Six reps or lower, which as you know by now is what you should be doing, is in the central neural adaptation zone for strength training. THE IMPORTANCE OF STRENGTH TRAINING IN TRIATHLON Dávid BRUNN, Jozef SÝKORA, Roman ŠVANTNER, Martin PUPIŠ, Zuzana PUPIŠOVÁ Department of Physical Education and Sports, Faculty of Arts, Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia Original scientific paper KEY WORD: Strength, running technique, triathlon. Included 16 relevant studies on how heavy weight training affects running economy. I am from Finland but live in Lisbon, Portugal. The reasoning is that improved core strength and stability can prevent injuries, improve biomechanics (like holding your posture for extended durations), and improve performance. This is called VMF - Volitional Muscular Fatigue. Dave Cripps holds a Masters degree in sport science and is an accredited strength and conditioning coach in the U.K. He’s currently the Director of TriTenacious , a leading online strength and conditioning resource for triathletes, and Coalition Performance , one of the U.K.’s most successful private physical fitness training facilities. But studies have shown that very few endurance athletes gain weight by doing heavy strength training, for several reasons. Any routine that you already have (for example, one that you do before track sessions) will do as long as it targets both the lower and upper body. Include a variety of exercises, and focus in particular on the hips and glutes. The 2 studies that did not have improvements added resistance training on top of the athlete’s existing endurance training program. In cycling, the strength training group saw a 7% improvement in performance compared to the non-strength training group. But first, let's discuss why you should be lifting weights a little bit more broadly, so you get the incentive and motivation to stick with me for the rest of this article. This is due to the interference effects I’ll describe below, and due to our non-bodybuilder diets (you need a caloric surplus to achieve hypertrophy). After logging in you can close it and return to this page. I do not want to join a gym to do my weight workout. Incorporate strength training into your off-season triathlon training program and you will be race faster, recover from workouts more quickly, and have less down-time due to injury. After some Good News and Feats of Strength, Eric takes a deep dive into a commonly-held belief in the evidence-based fitness world, and discusses whether or not getting lean will enhance your ability to gain muscle by improving your insulin sensitivity and increasing your p-ratio. Strength For Endurance is a performance strength coaching company specifically tailored to the needs of endurance athletes and has worked with some of triathlon’s top professional athletes. With all the athletes I coach, I have three goals: -Improve the athlete's performance -Increase the motivation and enjoyment the athlete gets from the sport -Provide 100% personalized feedback, mentoring and support. Other than you or your coach having to fit it into your program in a clever way, there is none. Apply this example to your other exercises as well. The annual training cycle develops from general to specific and from form focus to power performance. You need to test each exercise separately. Do not do 8 jumps if it says 5. With explosive strength training, if you can get your intended velocity high, that still counts (by the body and its adaptations) as explosive, even if the actual velocity isn’t high (because you loaded the bar with a ton of weights). Some studies have shown that even one strength training session every 8-10 days can be sufficient. In addition to physiological markers of performance, multiple studies have shown direct performance improvements from incorporating a well-designed strength training program in your triathlon training. " Recommended triathlon strength training exercises*. What do you suggest if someone does not have heavy weights? So I advise you to choose weights that you’re capable of moving quickly, both intended and in reality. Finally, it's worth mentioning that for longevity in both sports and general health and quality of life, strength training has several additional benefits that go beyond triathlon. This was always above 90% of one rep maximum. Until I found this amazing article by John Davis, I did not know any of this. Whether it's plyometrics, core training, foam rolling, stretching, or something else, you're already changed and warm. Unless you're very crunched for training time you should be doing weightlifting to improve triathlon performance, longevity, and general health. I have compiled a list of the resources I use over and over below. Strength training should be periodized throughout the year just like triathlon training: the general physical preparation phase, the specific preparation phase, the pre-competitive phase, the competitive phase, and the peak phase. You don’t need to add more training. Make one of your weekly sessions a maximum strength session. In this phase, do 8-12 reps per set per exercise. Rua Professor Queiroz Veloso 80, 1600-658 Lisbon, Portugal. So if core training prevents injuries, it seems clear that it indirectly supports improved performance, although the link is not causal. Love it thanks! Do two to three sets of each exercise and rest for two to three minutes between sets when you do high weight low rep training. You should reach the point when you can't do another rep without "cheating" or get very close to it at the end of each set. First, they have been shown primarily in people that are not used to both endurance and strength training. 1. For example, if you have a hard run or bike ride scheduled on the same day as your gym session, chances are that you might carry too much fatigue in your legs to get the most out of these sessions if you did a gym workout before. The structure of your gym workout should be as follows: For the warm-up, start with 5 minutes or so of cardio. 4. Now I just have to get over the intimidation factor at the gym! If you've done both alongside each other for years, the effects could be much smaller for you. We know this from research studies. Something that usually works well for athletes I coach is to swim in the morning and do gym work in the afternoon or evening. For endurance training, peripheral adaptations means simply a very high intensity. I have a home gym with weights up to 50lbs. The weight range here is 80% (for 6 reps) to 90+% (for 3 reps) of your 1RM. You can’t just forget about strength training when you get to your racing season and stop it completely and expect the benefits to last. The 3 studies that found improvements just exchanged some of the endurance training for resistance training instead, to keep the total training volume constant. 14 talking about this. But doing squat is not much easy as it seems. Complete all sets of one exercise before moving on to the next. Most research studies have found that two strength training sessions per week for 8-12 weeks achieves a sufficient increase in strength to result in endurance improvements. We’ll start off by saying that in our opinion there is no need for a power phase in triathlon training, even a strength phase is fairly irrelevant. As for which to do first, you have to consider the importance of each session, and how much the prior session will negatively impact the other. To see results from the original studies, see the references of these review studies. Just remember that if you do static stretching, hold the stretch for at least 2 minutes! Do one of the workouts in the morning, the second in the afternoon or evening if you have double-workout days. Note weights used and number of reps performed. And don't get silly and do things that seem too risky to you. Copyright 2021 Scientific Triathlon, all rights reserved. A strength training program for a pure runner would not look the same as that of a pure cyclist. For many triathletes, the topic of strength training has been neglected because of the strong emphasis in training for the swimming, biking, and running aspects of triathlons. However, only five studies have investigated the effects of strength training on swimming performance, and the number of participants in these studies is so low that it's not possible to draw any conclusions. When we talk about explosive training, it’s really the intended velocity rather than the actual velocity that seems to determine the training response. I discovered about this article after listening to one of your podcasts. Hey! – why front squats, not back squats? Pick the ones that work for you, and complement with your own exercises that fulfil the criteria I explained above when creating your own routine. But to keep things practical, there are four main scenarios where you're at a greater risk of falling victim to interference effects: 1. The reason this is so important is that you’re burning through ATP and CP (creatine phosphate) when you lift, and you need to allow for ATP resynthesis before your next set. It's easy to find studies showing improved time trial or time-to-exhaustion test performance as a result of strength training. Vikmoen 2017 - Heavy strength training improves running and cycling performance following prolonged submaximal work in well‐trained female athletes. Of course, you can and should do the core training I describe in this article just fine in your home gym. Try to separate your strength and endurance workouts by eight hours. I just have two questions: – why close grip lat pulldowns and barbell rows? Ronnestad 2013 - Optimizing strength training for running and cycling endurance performance: A review. Do not use a 40 cm box if it says a 20 cm box. Tucking 10-20 minutes of core work onto the end of a weightlifting session is a great way to get a couple of core sessions in per week at no extra cost. In cycling, protocols that have been using explosive strength training have not been beneficial and did not result in performance improvements. You want to be fresh. What's not to like? " Premier Training Systems is a professional endurance coaching and strength training service. This can be the difference between amazing running gains and frustrating series of injuries. " In a … 3.
