In this episode, Jeremey and I switch things up some and have a friendly debate on pacing.

Some of the things we discussed are:

•Power of pacing.

•Pitfalls of pacing

•Pros & Cons of Pacing in training.

•Pros & Cons of Pacing in competition.

•Pros & Cons of coach prescribed pacing.

•Pros & Cons of athlete regulated pacing.

•Positive Adaptations from Pacing

•Negative Adaptations from Pacing

•Pacing considerations for each type of athlete. (Sport / Tactical / Fitness)

•And more!

Don’t get us wrong. Like we state in the beginning of this episode, we BOTH believe in & use pacing (in some variation) with every single one of our athletes.

Just like we’ve discussed with things like linear periodization, percentage-based training, or even non-traditional methods, everything has a time and place.

The key is knowing WHEN, WHY, and WHICH athletes to use these tools with.

We even did a rapid-fire at the end with these questions:

-What do you like to hear from your athletes each day?

-What athlete is easier to build from a tension limited or delivery limited athlete?

-Moxy / Humon monitors - how do they work and do we have them at EAX?

-Is there a fighting weight preference for tactical athletes?
