Summary

In this conversation, Adam and Dizzle discuss various training strategies for endurance athletes, focusing on peaking methods, addressing cramping issues, and the role of creatine in performance. They explore how unstructured training can benefit athletes, the importance of race-like efforts, and the physiological aspects of cramping during long races. Additionally, they delve into the benefits of creatine supplementation for short, intense racing disciplines and its impact on performance.

 

Takeaways

  • Peaking is not just for one day; it's a phase.
  • Maintaining volume after peaking can enhance performance.
  • Unstructured training can help athletes feel fresher and more confident.
  • Cramping often results from fatigue rather than hydration issues.
  • Incorporating race-like efforts in training is crucial for endurance athletes.
  • Creatine can be beneficial for short, intense racing disciplines.
  • Weight gain from creatine is often just water retention.
  • Race experiences help athletes adapt to unknown challenges.
  • Durability workouts can improve performance in long races.
  • Fueling becomes more important during extended efforts.
