Performance Tools
Head Coach Andy was among the first to apply power-based training to trail and ultra running — working directly with Stryd to solve the specific challenges terrain creates. His input contributed to how trail runs are now analysed within the platform, and how power is applied across the demands of ultra distance.
Power data allows training intensity to be prescribed with a precision that pace and heart rate rarely offer on variable trail terrain — particularly valuable in races where conditions change dramatically.
Athletes use a range of devices including footpods and watch-based power. Power is one tool within the system, not a requirement.
Available to all athletes
Available as an additional performance component for athletes working directly with Head Coach Andy.
Each athlete completes a video-based assessment to evaluate running biomechanics. From this, we develop an individualised program focused on improving durability, efficiency, and injury resistance.
Programs are built around dynamic, run-specific exercises requiring minimal equipment — structured to complement your training load, not compete with it.
