In this episode I'm joined by Dan Reeve. Dan is a Coach based in Manchester who has an extensive and diverse competitive background in sports. In this episode Dan discusses why taking a long-term training approach is so important and what he focuses on when taking this approach with clients. Dan, is a big believer in not leaving anything up to guesswork so he has a lot of great systems in place to help him assess clients, design programs and record weekly client data. Dan kindly breaks down what data he records, why it's important and how that data influences Coaching decisions. When taking a long-term training approach intelligently building in Energy System Training and Recovery Work are key factors to address. Dan discusses his thoughts on the best recovery methods, why a large majority of people aren't actually training hard enough to be so focused on recovery methods and deloads and why building a solid Aerobic Base should be at the foundation of everyone's training.
