Finally, they discuss how to manage training when going on holiday mid-phase. They provide insights on how to gradually return to training after a break, emphasizing the importance of not overdoing it and considering individual factors.

They also highlight the benefits of training in the morning and having a structured training schedule. The conversation concludes with a discussion about their plans and where listeners can find more information about them. Takeaways

When going on holiday, adjust your training based on the type of trip and the resources available.

Taking time off from training can be beneficial for recovery and overall well-being.

Maintaining consistency in training is important, but it's also okay to prioritise rest during holidays.

Finding training partners and communities can enhance the training experience while travelling.

Managing training mid-phase may require a gradual reintroduction to the program and adjusting volume and intensity. After taking a break from training, it is important to gradually ease back into it to avoid overcompensation and potential setbacks.

Training in the morning can help establish a routine and ensure that it gets done before other activities and distractions arise.

Having a structured training schedule can help maintain consistency and prevent time from being eaten up by other activities.
