Our first four week block will focus on developing the propulsive phase of running. One key element to this is the activation of large muscles that will propel us forwards namely the gluteal muscles, the hamstring muscles…
So it’s been a pretty incredible year for this little triathlon club from East London.
It was a pretty special weekend in Lulworth Cove with about 40 LFTC clubbies and friends competing in the CTS Dorset event. We woke to the most perfect winter’s day you could imagine.
Who is the athlete with ‘Smith’ on his New Zealand tri-suit? Kind of looks like me doesn’t he?
Well it has been a while but I finally have a few minutes to put pen to paper. I should be at the Lido but my first cold in years has me sitting at home instead. Matt Dixon of Purple Patch Fitness is a fantastic coach whose principles and ideas make a lot sense to me…

Just one day to go until the London 2012 women’s triathlon! Good news for Canadian fans, Paula Findlay is fit to race it seems, not so great news for anyone else as Findlay proved last year if it comes down to the run she is incredibly dangerous. She has not competed at the elite level … Continued
