Strength & Conditioning - Two incredible physical challenges (Bob Smith and Luke Vella)

Team Bath

Bob and Luke are the two senior S&C coaches at Team Bath, who in 2016 are undertaking two very different physical challenges in the name of a very special charitable cause. Find out more about their journeys through the challenges as they discuss periodisation, tendon health and repair, and management of training load. A very interesting episode with a range of S&C topics discussed. Please donate to Bob's Grand Appeal in support of Bristol Children's Hospital at: www.justgiving.com/bobsm100. If you want to join Bob on any of his runs, or just keep updated with his progress, you can find more information at: www.bobsgrandappeal.com?
