WELCOME TO THE IRONSTRIDE BLOG

In this article, we present tips on how to smartly strategise low heart rate training and ease the stress around endurance training.

Understanding the force-velocity curve can enhance performance, prevent injuries, and optimise training strategies even in ultrarunning.

In this post, we analyse plyometrics as an effective tool for trail and mountain running.

In this blog post, we debunk three of the most common strength training myths for runners.

This article outlines the need for single-leg strength training for mountain running, how it should be periodised and exercises to include.

Delve into the specific strategies for tapering strength training, and various approaches to optimise performance on race day.

Relying solely on HR data has its limitations. This is where metrics like Intensity Factor (IF) and Training Stress Score (TSS) come in.

Ultrarunners should lift heavy, and lifting heavy weights, as opposed to bodyweight, is the cornerstone of peak ultrarunning performance.

This article delves into the science underpinning the SSC, its impact on running mechanics, and training strategies for maximising its effec

While the terms sound similar, the difference between speed-strength and strength-speed is crucial for optimising any training programme.

Strength training periodisation for ultramarathon performance involves syncing ultramarathon training with supplementary strength training.

Strength training during an ultramarathon plan can seem like a mountain to climb. On the other hand, it's opportunity left on the table.
