Physical therapy and rehabilitation specialist Drummond Clinic in southern England is launching ‘Prevent, Prepare, Perform’ – a full-day triathlon seminar featuring special guest, 2014 Ironman European Champion 2014 and Drummond Clinic Ambassador, Corinne Abraham.
This event is open to all levels of ability, and takes place on 1 November 2014 at Hall Place, within the Berkshire College of Agriculture at Burchetts Green, Maidenhead, Berkshire. Consisting of a full day of informative seminars and practical sessions, the primary aim of the Prevent, Prepare, Perform event is to enable athletes to underpin their training to ensure they get the very most out of it.
Corinne Abraham, Drummond Clinic Ambassador and European Ironman Champion 2014, will be presenting ‘Road back to recovery from serious injury to Ironman victory’.
Corinne said “Alex and the team at the Drummond Clinic have been a key part of my development and success as an athlete. Being fit to race is of course key to any athletes’ success; however we spend far more time training than we do racing! By laying down solid foundations of mobility and strength in my training, it has enabled me to function far more effectively come race day.”
She continued, “My body is constantly changing day-by-day, month-by-month, year-by-year as an athlete and as a person, and by starting to understand how my body functions, I can look to recognise alarm signals before they affect my training and performance.
“Through working with Alex and the Drummond Clinic team, I’ve now got a ‘tool-box’ of exercises and techniques that I can use to keep myself functioning and training effectively. It’s not rocket science, there are no secrets and everyone can develop their own toolbox!”
Alex Drummond, Senior Physiotherapist and Owner of the Drummond Clinic said “Being fit to train is an essential prerequisite to performing well as a triathlete. So many athletes come to see me who are getting very good results and on the surface are performing at a very good level, but are on the brink of pushing themselves over the edge.
“My job is to help them uncover their real potential, helping them to learn how their bodies work – and our event will explore the various ways in which we do this.”
The Prevent, Prepare, Perform event will explore various topics, which include:
- Mobility – as the prerequisite to strength
- Foam Rolling – self myofascial release
- Functional Strength – why it is the ‘secret weapon’ of all training
- Nutrition – the fundamentals of fuelling for training
- Physiological testing vs biomechanical assessment
- Programming for the endurance athlete
- Q&A session with presenters and ambassadors
As well as this, the Drummond Clinic team promise that the event will really offer the ‘full package’, with plenty more on offer throughout the day.
Each attendee will be able to enjoy ‘a delicious (and nutritious) lunch’, as well as a selection of refreshments throughout the day. They will also be presented with a stocked goodie bag, filled with over £30 worth of products, as well as the opportunity to enter a prize draw with prizes of over £1000.
Only a limited number of spaces will be available. The event is now open for registrations: early bird fee – £95.00 (until 30 September 2014); regular fee thereafter, £125.00
