Journey to Paralympic Gold: USA Triathlon Coach Parker Spencer's Strategy

Join us for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the data-driven approach that helped Paralympian Chris Hammer secure gold at the 2024 Paralympics. Led by USA Triathlon Coach Parker Spencer and Chris Hammer, this webinar will dive deep into the scientific training strategies that fueled Chris’s journey to Paralympic gold.

Together, Parker and Chris will discuss:

- Swimming Enhancements: Strategies employed to boost Chris's aerobic and anaerobic capacity, including technique refinement, optimal wetsuit selection, and increasing weekly swim volume to 40k.

- Cycling Advancements: The approach to elevating Chris's VO2max from 82 to 87.75 ml/kg/min and his VLamax from 0.38 to 0.42 mmol/l/s, resulting in a threshold power increase from 5.8 to 6.2 w/kg.

- Running Improvements: Methods to enhance Chris's aerobic capacity, increasing his VO2max from 70.55 to 78.55 ml/kg/min and his VLamax from 0.1 to 0.17 mmol/l/s, through increased running volume, high-intensity track sessions, and targeted strength training.

-The Power of Data: How metabolic profiling with INSCYD guided personalized training decisions across swim, bike, and run.

- Equipment Optimization: The process of testing multiple shoe options to determine the most economical choice for racing.

- Body Composition Optimization: The plan that led to Chris reducing his weight from 153 lbs to 142 lbs and decreasing body fat percentage from 15% to 10.4%, contributing to his overall efficiency and endurance.

This session will provide unique insights into elite-level preparation, motivation, and execution.
