Both Boyd and Fitzgerald highlight the importance of continuous training cycles for runners, emphasizing a need for strategic, moderate input rather than extreme fluctuations between high and low seasons. They discuss the danger of de-training and the risk of subsequent injuries as important factors to consider in maintaining a steady training schedule. Utilizing key running milestones and setting 'training PRs' during what could be called 'base training' or 'pre-season' are suggested to build strong foundation for subsequent training.
