Kriss Hendy has been working within the endurance community for over 15 years now, studying, coaching, supporting (husband to an elite level athlete) and now helping other coaches and athletes within a mentoring and consulting capacity.

He is owner of Strength For Endurance, whose multi-disciplinary approach ensures athletes are employing a comprehensive approach to their endurance training; in order to overcome injury, prevent overtraining and keep doing what they love for many years to come.

When it comes to preparing for an endurance race or adventure, the training sessions are the easy bit. But what’s rarely considered is how this individual is going to integrate a high volume training program onto an already demanding work, family lifestyle.

When someone is placing so much demand on their body physically, factors such as blood work and hormones, adequate fuelling, training load management, psychology and having a fundamental level of strength and conditioning are essential.

From many years of professional and personal experience, Kriss is passionate about raising the standard of coaching and education to the endurance community and is hosting The Endurance Speaker Series in the UK over the coming months.
