Intrepid Performance Training

Not every athlete fits into a template program, we get it. (ICYM I have an arthritic shoulder, I get the infuriating "sub in a movement" struggle, TRUST ME).
Whether you’re training for a race, returning from injury, managing a recurring issue, or just trying to train smarter around your biomechanics and schedule (aka managing those training volumes so you don't blow up) sometimes you need a program that’s actually built around YOU.
At Intrepid, we offer 3 tiers of customized strength programming for athletes in the Bow Valley and beyond. Each option is tailored to your goals, training history, injury considerations, and the realities of your sport and lifestyle. We also take into account what type of equipment you have access to. (Full disclosure, you will need more than a b***y band...)
From self-managed structure to high-touch coaching support, there’s an option depending on how much guidance and accountability you need.
⚡️ Tier 1 — Intrepid Foundations
A 6-week tailored training block for independent athletes who want professional structure without ongoing coaching oversight.
⚡️ Tier 2 — Advanced Strength Coaching
Monthly individualized programming with coach support for athletes navigating performance goals, rehab milestones, or more complex training variables.
⚡️ Tier 3 — Pro Strength Programming
Our most hands-on option with monthly calls, extensive programming adjustments, ongoing communication, and high-level individualization for complex cases or performance-focused athletes.
If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect” time to start… this is probably it. The best time to start was yesterday. The next best time is today.

30,000 meters of climbing vs. one pissed-off knee
Here Tyler is 2 weeks out from the Trans Balkan Race, a self-supported 1400km off-road bike race.
The problem? A few months ago, severe patellar tendinopathy had his knee so flared up he couldn't even log the saddle time needed to train for it.
We did what tendons actually thrive on: We loaded it and as a result we were able to avoid PRP injections and any major down time off the bike.
So what was the formula:
- Heavy Slow Resistance: we had Tyler working at the heaviest tolerable load across his knee at slow tempo and low reps with lots of rest between sets.
- Strategic Isometrics: low-to-high stimulus isometric holds helped dampen the pain inhibition feedback loop and calming the nerve signals.
- Fixing the Upstream Issues. We dialled in his supplementary work to really focus on cleaning up some asymmetries evident across his hips.
This was enough to help remodel the tendon and get it structurally denser.
No needles, no invasive treatments, and he’s heading to the start line with a chassis that is measurably stronger and more robust than it was last year.
Good luck out there, Tyler. Go crush it.
When can I start running again after surgery? 🤷
If you’re rehabbing from an ACL or a related knee surgery, this is the number one question.
Feeling good on a casual walk isn’t the green light to clear yourself for the trails. When running, your joints experience forces equal to 3–5x your body weight. You don’t guess your way back from that. You test.
To safely get back on the ones and twos, your main goal is structural symmetry:
-No or Trace Swelling
-Full Extension, 95% of Flexion of the knee
-Thigh Muscle Mass Asymmetry of
Don’t skip (lower) leg day!
A well-executed calf raise can mitigate a host of problems that arise from the connective tissues that cross the ankle and foot. And to build real resilience, you’ll need exposure to variety:
✅ Full ROM (with Supination & Pronation)
✅ Barefoot loading
✅ Bent knee variations (Soleus focus)
✅ Isometric challenges
