HOW TO BUILD UP FOR YOUR FALL RACE

Podcast #156 🎙

.

Many runners will begin a training cycle and jump into

❌ TOO MUCH

❌ TOO SOON

.

How can we avoid that and have a successful training cycle?

.

THE PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD PRINCIPLE

This means:👇

✅ Starting where you’re currently at

✅ Take the average number of miles you’ve run in the last 6 weeks and start there

✅ You want to avoid a big ramp up when your training cycle “begins” and make sure to only increase your mileage by MAX 10% each week

✅ You should feel like you’re holding back until peak weeks of training (2-4 weeks before your race, depending on race distance)

✅ You want to feel STRONG during your training cycle instead of very fatigued and struggling day to day

.

Have you ever felt very fatigued halfway through your training cycle, or like you “peaked too soon”? Let us know in the comments! ⬇️
