The Power of Cross Training & Strength Training for Endurance Athletes | Expert Series 16 | Peter Glassford & Molly Hurford - Kinesiologist, Endurance Coach, Writer & Hosts of the Consummate Athlete

What happens when you stop thinking of yourself as "just a runner" or "just a cyclist" and start training like a complete athlete? Peter Glassford and Molly Hurford from The Consummate Athlete join us to break down why cross-training might be the most underrated tool in endurance sports. Peter is a Registered Kinesiologist and endurance coach with 20+ years of experience, and Molly is an ultra runner, author, and founder of Strong Girl Publishing. Together, they've spent a decade helping busy athletes build sustainable performance through their 4 Cs framework: Cross-training, Consistency, Confidence, and Community. In this episode, we get into practical strategies for fitting training around a busy life, why strength training matters more than most endurance athletes think, the real problem with ERG mode on the trainer, how to start cross-training without risking injury, and Molly's journey from crying in the shower after her first Ironman to setting the course record at her first 100-miler. Whether you're a coach looking for fresh programming ideas or an athlete stuck in a single-sport rut, this one is packed with actionable takeaways.
