Strength and conditioning is essential for endurance athletes. It boosts performance, prevents injuries and supports long-term health. For runners, cyclists and triathletes, S&C builds stronger muscles, improves efficiency and reduces the impact of ageing. It’s especially vital for women during perimenopause and menopause to maintain bone density, muscle mass and confidence in training and life.
