Pelvic Girdle Health for Athletes

Head Coach Ollie has put pen to paper (#oldshool) about a really important topic.  All too often he sees athletes with tight pelvic girdles and on the brink of injury. Neglecting it can lead to imbalances, limited mobility, decreased performance, and heightened injury risks. Ultimately this is all leading towards hindering athletes' abilities and longevity in the sport.

Take 5 mins of your time to understand how the pelvic girdle plays a crucial role in athlete's performance and how you can keep it healthy.

Maintaining Good Pelvic Girdle Health

Maintaining good pelvic girdle health involves a combination of strength-building exercises, release techniques, and ongoing maintenance strategies. Ollie has written some of the key methods for each aspect.

The Open Water Is Calling You!

Due to commitments with the Grand Prix, MSAC will be heavily impacted.  We need to relocate all our swim sessions for that week. That's great news as you get to make the most of open water swimming for the final days of the season and to prep you leading into the last race.

The sessions will be as follows:
Monday 18th March - 6pm open water swim at Half Moon Bay
Wednesday 20th March - 6.30am open water swim at Elwood Beach
Friday 22nd March - 6.30am open water swim at Elwood Beach
Monday 25th March - 6pm open water swim at Half Moon Bay

Naturally, we will assess conditions on the day, and program the session accordingly.  Please bring along all swim gear including wetsuits, paddles, fins, snorkel and resistance bands.  You will begin with a dryland warm up and hit the water at first light on Wednesday and Friday. 

Taking Our Intervals Beachside

We know access to the Albert Park precinct is becoming increasingly difficult, so for a couple of Tuesday morning run sessions we will move down the road to Middle Park. 

We will meet just before 5:45am at the outdoor gym station on Beaconsfield Parade, opposite Armstrong Street, on:

Tuesday 19th March
Tuesday 26th March - yes, this is Recovery Week, but Ollie will still be down there for the Long Course crew

This session will work on various pacing and intervals based on athlete ability and goals.

Outdoor Wind Trainer

We know you couldn't possibly go a week without a Tuesday night date with Gaz, but since we won't have access to MSAC on the 19th March, we will be moving the wt session to Elwood (weather permitting).

Please bring all your gear and trainers and begin setting up at 6pm on the usual location.  We'll have the van there if you need to hire a trainer, so don't let that stop you!

Bike Frame

Recently, an athlete bought a TT bike with a 56-size frame, but it was too small.
So, he's swapped the frame for a 58 and is looking to sell the 56 frame. It’s brand new and has never been ridden.

It’s a Cervelo P Series which cost $3.5k, but he's happy to sell to offer a much better deal to someone from TA.
