HYROX

STRENGTH THAT SERVES PERFORMANCE

Our Hyrox programme is a tool for trail athletes to gain anaerobic capacity, functional strength and fatigue tolerance. We work with two levels:

HYROX TRAIL

HYROX COMPETITION

• Integration with advanced trail plans

• For athletes focused on this specific sport

RECOVER

RECOVERY IS TRAINING

The Recover pillar includes access to recovery services at Dolce Campo Real's AmaiSPA, with:

• Water circuit (jacuzzi, hydromassage, Turkish bath, sauna), massage and pressotherapy
• Integrative strategies for nutrition, sleep and supplementation.

Customisation and monitoring

Each plan is tailored to each athlete, taking into account:

• Goals
• Competition schedule
• Time Available
• Training and injury history

We conduct mobility, strength, and stability tests and perform a detailed analysis of your current condition. The training structure follows the principles of annual periodisation:

1. General Phase (1-3 months)
• Development of basic strength and mobility
• Adaptation to volume

2. Specific Phase (1-3 months)
• Intensity, VO2 max, race technique

3. Pre-competitive Phase (4-6 weeks)
• Pace, strategy, nutrition, simulation

4. Competition and Taper Phase (1-2 weeks)
• Performance optimisation

5. Transition and Recovery Phase
• Replenishment, rebalancing and active rest

TrainingPeaks as a basis

We use the TrainingPeaks® platform to plan, monitor and adjust the entire process:

• Each session is sent to the watch
• Training sessions regulated by time and heart rate
• Daily feedback and contact with the coach
• Monitoring of fitness, fatigue and form (TSS, CTL, ATL, etc.)

Camps and community

We also want to highlight Strendure Camps, with an area dedicated to reporting on previous editions (gallery and memories), as well as upcoming events.
From the trails of Madeira to Mont Blanc, these are unique experiences that create a foundation and connection with the community.

If you are looking for a plan that respects you, challenges you, and elevates you — welcome to Strendure Coaching.

Three years ago, I decided to join Strendure in pursuit of improvement in mountain running ⛰️. I quickly realised that it was not just a team or a simple relationship between coach and athlete. João made a point of showing that we are a family, where every achievement, whatever it may be, is celebrated. Today, I am proud to say that my progress is thanks to João, who, above being a great coach, is an excellent person. I am proud to say that I am a wolf!

Ricardo Botelho

In 2020, after almost a year dealing with recurring injuries, I found Strendure and João Mota. Since then, I have never had another injury. I discovered a passion for trail running and endurance thanks to dedicated and personalised support tailored to my needs and goals.
