Do Time-Crunched Cyclists Need a Mid-Season Break or Mid-Season Volume? (#256)


Listen Later

OVERVIEW
Lots of endurance athletes take a mid-season break following a big goal event or a substantial training block. Some Time-Crunched Cyclists don't need a mid-season break because they don't accumulate enough training stress to benefit from a prolonged period of reduced workload. Rather, some Time-Crunched Cyclists benefit from an increase in training volume during the middle of the season! Coach Adam Pulford explains how to tell the difference between needing a break and benefitting from adding volume to your mid-season training.

TOPICS COVERED

  • Benefits of a mid-season break
  • What does a mid-season break look like?
  • Who benefits from a mid-season break?
  • Which athletes shouldn't take a mid-season break?
