In this episode, Coaches Rob Wilby and Chris Palfreyman delve into the strategic concept of "Understanding the Double Peak" in your training season.
In this episode, you'll hear:
The Second Half of the Season: They talk about how the latter part of the season can be an opportunity for more relaxed, fun activities that build on the fitness you've already developed. They discuss the potential for a second "A" race, participating in single events, off-road adventures, or even marathons.
Training Modifications: They delve into the various ways to modify your training for the second half of the season, whether you're preparing for another major race or just exploring 'fun/adventure' events.
Recovery and Rest: They stress the importance of recovery between peaks and share strategies to ensure you get enough rest to prevent overtraining. They discuss the timeframes needed for recovery and the importance of ensuring mental freshness.
Mental Preparation: Lastly, they explore the psychological aspects of preparing for a second peak in a season, including how to maintain motivation, set new goals, and manage expectations.
Join Rob and Chris as they guide you through strategizing for a second peak in your season, helping you leverage your fitness to enjoy a wider range of activities and events. Enjoy the show!
