More miles โ‰  less strength. ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช

As my endurance athletes move deeper into their season, mileage increases. Long runs get longer. Rides get bigger. Race demands go up.

Thatโ€™s when strength training needs to support the workโ€”not compete with it.

This TRXยฎ Training Power Bag series hits three things endurance athletes still need:

๐Ÿ”ฅ Single-leg hip thrusts โ†’ posterior chain + single-leg strength
โšก Cleans โ†’ power + force production
๐Ÿ’ช Plank drags โ†’ core stability + control under movement

We may adjust the volume and intensity as training load climbs, but we donโ€™t abandon strength.

Because the goal isnโ€™t just to handle more miles.

Itโ€™s to stay strong enough to keep handling them.

Build mileage. Maintain strength. Stay resilient.

And yes, the BETTY DESIGNS kit works for lifting heavy things too. ๐Ÿฆ‹โ˜ ๏ธ

Nothing like a little friendly workplace wellnessโ€ฆ that turns red zone. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

Had a blast at the ESPN Run/Walk to Wellness, repping BETTY DESIGNS and crossing the line as the top female ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ’™

So my only question is: Can I add this to my upcoming performance evaluation?

Delivers results. Exceeds expectations. Runs faster than coworkers. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Great day getting outside, moving, and having some fun with the ESPN crew.

Eight weeks. 13.1 miles. One goal bigger than the finish line. ๐Ÿ’œ

Iโ€™m running the Hartford Half Marathon as a Girls on the Run Greater Connecticut SoleMate because running has been a lifeline for my mental health. Itโ€™s made me stronger, more confident, and a better coach.

I want more girls to discover what movement can do for them, too.

Core training for athletes should do more than make your abs burn. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

This challenge from Mark Campbell - TRX combines three movements that ask your core to stabilize, control, and transfer force while the rest of your body is moving:

โšก TRX Mountain Climbers โ€” trunk + shoulder stability
๐Ÿ”€ TRX Crossing Mountain Climbers โ€” rotation + coordination
๐Ÿ’ฅ TRX Oblique Crunches โ€” lateral strength + control

All things runners, cyclists, hockey players, and pretty much every athlete need.

Good core training? Absolutely.

An excuse for my athletes to get unnecessarily competitive with their teammates? Even better. ๐Ÿ˜‚
