In this episode of the Neil Damerell Show, Neil explores the importance and benefits of strength training for cyclists and endurance athletes. I discuss how strength training isn't just about lifting heavy weights, it can improve run economy, power output, and anaerobic capacity, leading to better performance. I highlight a study that found that replacing some road work with gym sessions improved running economy and aerobic capacity. The show includes tips for incorporating strength training into your routine and an introduction to 'Cycle Lean Blueprint', a comprehensive resource for cyclists that includes strength training workout videos, nutrition plans, and access to coaching. I close the video with a reminder of the role of strength training in injury prevention and muscle retention, especially as we age.
