This week Brandon sat down with Chad Budyk, a strength and conditioning coach based out TrecFit in Calgary, AB, and owner of OCR Labs Performance. Chad has been in the industry for many years and will be the first to admit that he is still learning. Most recently he has been working with Dynamic stress theory and how it applies to training and program design. This approach not only makes him a great coach, but has allowed him to build quite the reputation as a strength coach for endurance athletes, especially as it relates to OCR.If you’re interested in following Chad or learning more about what he's up to, you can find him on instagram @ocrlabsperformance or @chadbudyk, as well as @trecfit#EvolveRadio #EvolveStrength #EvolvePerformance #EvolveHealth

EVOLVE RADIO | EP. 3 | CHAD BUDYK | PERFORMANCE LIMITERS AND TRAINING STRENGTH FOR ENDURANCE ATHLETES

I spoke with strength and conditioning coach Chad Budyk all about why strength training is just as important as running, why lifting heavy enough is important, and about matching the demands of race day in your training. Chad starts by introducing himself and his background, and explains to me why he specializes in OCR training. We discuss how athletes tend to stick to certain distances and races, and speculate on the possibility of having different championship races for different race distances. He then explains how and why athletes should be focusing on strength and conditioning just as much as running, and why you should never, ever burpee out on a strength obstacle. He also explains how strength training helps you manage your heart rate on race day. That leads us into a discussion about matching or exceeding the demands of race day in your training: what it looks like, why it's important, and why you need to go hard on those days. Chad tells me about using consequences to replicate race day pressure, and why they're effective. Lastly, Chad talks about training on the trails like you would train for a track, and how it's beneficial to your performance.
