0:00.0	A big adaptation is the improvement to be able to recruit, like you said.
0:04.2	So in other words, the ability for nerves to be able to turn on muscles to a larger degree.
0:09.0	And that's then what from doing strength training allows you to go from using five of your eight cylinders to using eight of your eight cylinders.
0:17.6	The Trefoam Sout, 230.
0:32.3	Yeah. That Traathlon Show, 230. Hey, what's up, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of That Triathlon Show, the podcast presented by Scientific Traathlon.com.
0:42.1	I'm your host Michael, and on today's episode, I interview Dave Crips, who is the director and physical performance coach at Tri-Tenacious and Coalition Performance.
0:53.1	Dave has worked with both professional and amateur athletes in and out of triathlon,
0:58.6	including working as the Strength and Conditioning coach with the Leicester Tigers in their rugby glory days.
1:07.2	And in today's interview, he shares his thoughts on how strength training can be incorporated

1:46.2	is to go back and listen to episode 49 of this podcast. That's where I include the founder
1:52.1	of precision hydration, Andy Blow, who is one of the greatest experts on that topic. So go back and
1:59.0	listen to that because we cover basically all the basis when it
2:01.9	comes to electrolytes and hydration. So that would be where I would start. And then if you're
2:07.2	interested in trying out precision hydration's electrolyte products, go and try your first box or
