Optimizing S&C into your week with Trang Nguyen - a podcast by Brodie Sharpe

Trang Nguyen is a Physiotherapist, Strength & Conditioning coach and host of the Athlete's Garage podcast. Trang has a particular interest working with endurance athletes at the end-stage of rehab.

So today, we dive into ways you can implement or tweak your S&C sessions for optimization. Firstly, we discuss what a typical gym week would look like for a recreational runner, including frequency, intensity and exercise examples.

Second, Trang focuses in on exercise dosages. Including sets, reps and the concept of periodization when preparing for a marathon.

Next, we dive into what a runner should be 'feeling' during a particular set. This covers muscle activation, levels of muscle 'fatigue' and the answer might surprise you.

Lastly, we answer a listener question around the best 'minimalism home S&C kit' and end with Trang's final 3 tips to optimize your S&C sessions.
