I’ve been following Badwater veteran and coach, Scott Weber, and his BW “tips” on his FB page, with great interest, as I get closer to seeing the course for the first time with mine own eyes!

Here’s a great one he posted a little while back, with a FANTASTIC quote:

Ireland’s John Treacy, the 1984 Olympic Marathon Silver Medalist, “the little man with the big heart,” used these 4 principles to guide his training in the lead up to the games: “Believe in yourself, know yourself, deny yourself, and be humble.” Words of value to every athlete…

Hey everyone…

Those of you with Runner-CORE know that “Fix The Hips” is one of the best circuits from the program that will help you keep your strength balanced, especially through your hips and trunk, which is super important for staying injury free.

I mentioned a while back that I was exposed to Dave Schmitz and his very cool “Resistance Band Training” programs. Dave’s got a new video post on his site on FRONTAL PLANE stabilization, with some GREAT exercises and movements with bands, that will take “Fix The Hips” to the next level.

I highly recommend you check out Dave’s site here: episode 19!

I’ve now got a complete set of bands, and am really interested in learning more about resistance band training! Why? REACTIVITY is what its all about in movement. Getting muscles to “react” - training the stretch shortening cycle, accelerating momentum and gravity. These are the things that really are important in building sport specific speed and ultimately, resistance to fatigue…

Check out Dave’s stuff!!!

Take care, talk with you soon…
