E61: The Art of Endurance: Dr. RJ Boergers' on Training, Racing and Resilience
Dr. Richard "RJ" Boergers' secret to success? "Do hard stuff!"
Dr. Boergers, author of Finish Strong: Resistance Training for Endurance Athletes knows a thing or two about how far the limits of the human body can be pushed!
He is a certified athletic trainer who worked in sports medicine at the collegiate level for many years before becoming a full-time professor. He holds a BS in Health Science and Athletic Training, an MS in Human Performance (Biomechanics and Exercise Physiology), and a PhD in Human Movement Science. He is currently an Associate Professor in the Master of Science in Athletic Training Program at Seton Hall University.
He has been a serious endurance athlete since 2007 and has competed in various events covering running, cycling, and swimming in multiple countries, including finishing 3 IRONMAN triathlons, more than 15 IRONMAN 70.3 races, as well as countless other races at various distances. Throughout his training for these events, he has always applied general strength and conditioning principles, such as progressive overload, general adaptation syndrome, and basic periodization to continue to stimulate his body to improve and handle training at consistently higher levels.
In this episode, join host Michael Fancher and Dr. Boergers as they discuss the world of competitive racing, technology's effect on human performance and training, mastering your mindset and training techniques, and secrets for endurance athletes!
