5 benefits S&C can have on your endurance performance 02/21/2025

Lawrence Van Lingen: Helping high performance individuals move better and understand their injuries 02/14/2025

Lawrence Van Lingen: Helping high performance individuals move better and understand their injuries This week Kriss sat down with Lawrence Van Lingen, a Movement Specialist who helps individuals in high performance environments to move better and understand their injuries. He has worked with some of the best endurance athletes such as Jan Frodeno, Holly Lawrence, Taylor Knibb, to name just a few. We've been aware of Lawrence's work for over a decade now, having worked with some of the same athletes and we share a very similar approach to treating athletes in a holistic way. Lawrence’s work focuses a lot on how the body functions in synergy with itself, his respect for the nervous system and the importance of fascial pathways. A seemingly "unconventional" approach amongst the old school practitioners, who tend to just treat the symptom, Lawrence explains how you can start to tap into better movement mechanics, start to retrain the brain and how the body actually doesn't like the precise repetitive movements often associated with “optimal” running and cycling form. To find out more about Lawrence’s work follow him on instagram @lawrencevanlingen or (00:00) Welcome to the Strength for Endurance Podcast (00:40) Introducing Lawrence Venlingham (02:32) The Importance of Variation in Movement (04:12) Understanding Dystonia and Movement Patterns (06:04) The Role of Rhythm and Breathing in Performance (09:49) Holistic Approach to Injury and Performance (14:27) The Impact of Stress on Training (16:54) Case Studies and Real-Life Examples (29:29) Introduction to Yan's Work and Movement Flow (29:54) Building Trust and Confidence in Athletes (30:40) The Importance of Environment in Training (32:54) Understanding Synergistic Issues in Training (34:12) Challenges in Running Rehab and Overcoming Them (37:48) The Concept of Hyper Training (39:05) The Role of Emotions and Social Media in Training (42:35) Exploring the Complexity of Human Movement (47:15) The Significance of the Big Toe in Movement (55:09) Final Thoughts and Where to Find More Information Join our SFE Inner Circle to receive weekly 5 minute masterclasses and top coaching tips 👉 Subscribe to our Youtube Channel - Arm yourself with a level of knowledge you can call on at anytime.
