144 Finding Your Rhythm: Lessons From S&C Coach Turned Triathlete - Chris Jillard

We met Chris back in early 2025 at a bike fitter's meetup where he stood out as being the only non-bike fitter in the room.But as such, he was the most animated, curious and asked the most interesting questions. As a strength coach who has recently taken up triathlon, we had to get Chris on the show.We explore how he places a big emphasis on a 'human first' approach, why strength work is critical for cyclists & triathletes if they want longevity in their sport.And how Chris himself balances the needs of strength training vs. endurance training and how they compliment each other. If you're thinking about how to structure your off-season and build your foundations for next year, this episode is definitely worth a listen.
