I would tell myself to enforce more rest on my athletes.

You do not get better by training but by recovering. I have seen some athletes with catastrophic results as a doctor. And after seven or eight stress fractures, she retired from running before finishing college. I would spend more time reinforcing the importance of rest. I am working on a couple of different studies, and we are refining the mathematics of the W' model. And we are looking for correlations between those models and physiology. It is good we developed these models, but mathematics is not secure in reality.

What is your favourite book, blog or resource? It has through much information for strength and conditioning. What is an important habit that benefited athletically, professionally or personally?

It is about being lazy. To make improvements, you have to have time to think. There is a reason why a person like Albert Einstein only published some scientific articles in his lifetime. If you look at the people who make the most impact are those that took the time to think deeply about something.

None of us will be a genius, but we can all benefit from taking time to think clearly. I reduced my coaching services to a third of the athletes I would coach in the beginning.

The reason is why I want to think carefully. When you do it, I think you can make better decisions. When I was working with Nike, I could not work with anyone else. That allowed me to work with a small group of people. And it made my interaction and my level as a coach increase dramatically. Who is someone you have looked up to or who has inspired you?

We tried to work on things that could help regular athletes. What was inspiring was that they were one team. I work with doctors all the time, and I know how hard to work with them. But in Exeter, it was not like that. Everyone was giving a hand if needed.

What Andy and I brought to the Breaking 2 Project was focusing on moving the project forward. Bernardo is a Portuguese elite cyclist and PhD student in the field of aerodynamics at the University of Coimbra.

Scientific Training for Endurance Athletes with Dr.

Philip Skiba EP Share 0. Tweet 0. In this Episode you'll learn about: The new edition of Phil's much sought-after book: Scientific Training for Endurance Athletes Understanding and training your physiology The role of periodisation The importance of specificity When, why and how endurance athletes need to focus on power and speed development. Quick Navigation In this Episode you'll learn about:. Understanding the athlete's physiology. Training based on the athlete's profile.

Combining athlete's physiology and training. Muscle typology and training load. Training considerations to improve certain aspects of physiology.

Periodisation considerations for training. Adapting periodisation to sports like short distance triathlon. Specificity in the preparation of an athlete. Race specificity for longer distance events. Ways to quantify training stress. The role of power and speed in endurance athletes. High-intensity interval training.

Additional points on training. Length of a high-intensity training block. Additional topics address in the book. The general take on vitamin supplements. Sponsored by:. Philip Skiba's background. The more intriguing part of my job is the work I do with endurance athletes.

I have been coaching triathletes since the early s. To help develop these athletes the best I could, I developed an intensive research program in the UK.

I worked with Andy Jones. I completed my PhD in the Jones Laboratory at the University of Exeter and developed these tools and techniques to help athletes. I had already coached a couple of world champions at this point. And I got hired by Nike to work on the Breaking 2 Project. Here, you use many of these mathematical tools to develop an evidence-based approach to how we can help athletes.

I coached many elite athletes who are world record holders and Olympians. Books published by Philip Skiba. We have done a tremendous amount of work in the last years to understand how athletes' bodies work. Instead of writing a thick book that no one might read, I wrote two short books around pages long.

These books give you the basic physiology everyone can understand. And they present the basic training techniques I know that work. To support the knowledge, I give or more references demonstrating that this works. And no one was more surprised than me at how successful they were.

After the Breaking 2 Project, I focused on trying to combine the two books. But that took a bit longer than I was expecting. As science is developing, I constantly re-edited my ideas and thoughts on the new book. It will be available by November or so. But the truth is you can do much of it without that kind of technology or incurring those expenses.

First, you can learn much only by training and observing what is going on with the body. Knowing this gives already much knowledge on yourself. I have been successful because I analyse that power duration curve and apply it to the specific competition. You plot the demands of the competition and the athlete's profile and compare the two things. Therefore, you know understand how the athlete can perform better than others. I would love to tell you it would be more complicated, but it is not.

Thus, the first step is to look at what you have done to see what you will be capable of achieving. The first step is to decide if your goal is reasonable or not. Using some of the impulse models I developed a few years ago, I figured out that to match Lance Armstrong on Alde D'Huez, I could train 96 hours per week. But training 96 hours per week is not possible. It is here where coaches are helpful. They can access what you will be capable of doing.

But suppose I could lose three or four kilos and could train four days a week. I might get that number to 48 and might take one minute out of my 5 km time. That is the goal, and to make incremental improvements towards something. It all comes down to the training load. Before you can get to a higher level, you first need to manage a certain load level. And that is not easy to see from the inside.

I regularly have athletes who run a five-hour marathon and say they want to qualify for Boston. It is not reasonable we can take 1h30 out of your marathon time in the next six months. That is the challenge of athletes.

Every time you go above your "critical power", you drain your battery a little bit. And when you recover, you recharge the battery. In the run, it is very similar by using D' measured in meters. And you have critical speed, where the speed you can travel starts to level out. We know it is difficult to affect the battery. It means the result of endurance training is a loss at high-end speed.

It is good if you are trying to be a triathlete but a challenge if you are a sprinter as a cyclist. You have to be fit aerobically to get to the end of the stage, but if you are too trained aerobically, you lose your sprint ability. It is not easy to make that balance. My experience has been on not attributing training based on muscle typology. Instead, I do it based on how the athlete listens to their body. I see many high-level endurance athletes overtrained.

And I know their muscles are mainly slow twitch. But you must be careful when you interpret some muscle typology data. There are challenges in biopsies. If you, do it deep in the muscle, you will get more slow-twitch muscle fibres.

It also depends on the place where you do the measures. Training the Mind Chapter 3. Assessing and Improving Technique Chapter 4. Training for Strength and Muscular Balance Chapter 5. Complex Speed and Endurance Training Chapter 6.

Dallam is an associate professor of exercise science and health promotion at Colorado State University at Pueblo. As a sport scientist he has authored and coauthored numerous scientific papers relating to triathlon.

During his career at CSU-Pueblo, he has received each of the university-wide awards for teaching, scholarship, and service, becoming the only faculty member in the history of the institution to receive all three awards. During his year triathlon coaching career, Dallam has served as a personal coach to several elite triathletes, including Amanda Stevens, Marcel Vifian, Callahan Hatfield, Michael Smedley, and Ryan Bickerstaff.
