  • Thoroughly enjoying my live strength classes with the team. Thank you!
  • Awesome as ever guys.!👏😎🍺 I have just had my first anniversary as a CP member and can fully attest to the value of strength training and your excellent advice As I am nearer 60 than 50 it’s never been more important for continuing good health for me to feel strong physically and mentally Working from home 4days a week can certainly mess with your posture so I am grateful for the strength work to help keep me upright and generally freer of injury than if I wasn’t doing it regularly

    Love this work you guys are doing... Extremely important. Do you have anything on deep water running 🏃‍♂️
  • @chaiaf
    It’s interesting. Lately I’ve been doing your strength classes more often and overall I’m not as tired I used to be after a run..
  • @L00PYDRAG0N
    The best exercise I have personally found to benifit my running. Is Tai Chi. The strength and flexibility gained in this from of exercise is incredible, because of the slow precision body movements.
  • @SubtleForces
    Very interesting though I wonder how to incorporate this. I have at least one tough running session (tempo or track) but also maybe 2 hard tennis-sessions per week and at over 50, the days after 2 hours of tennis (essentially very short sprints over 2 hours) - can be tough and seem needed before the intensive running session. Let say Tennis on Monday, Track on Wednesday, Tennis on Saturday and 2-3 base running session(including a long run currently on Sunday). That's already 5-6 sessions. It's easy to do a few gym days for the upper-body any time, but how can the lower body strength sessions be added intelligently? My legs are usually tired...

    Would the exercise at 6:56 (Think it's the Russian oblique twist... I could be wrong) help with a pelvic imbalance (on my left side?) Thanks... P.S. great video...
  • Amazing video thanks. It explains everything so well in simple English. Thanks so much. Invaluable information 👍😀
  • @mrCedrosboy
    I normally strength train 4days per week After speed training and long run

    Try squatting 5x10 x bodyweight on your back - you won't be running the next day let me tell you!!
