Episode notes
Base Building Is The Real Training
- Base building is the core training phase that develops your aerobic engine, resilience, and technical competence.
- Without it, intensity won’t stick, recovery worsens, and progress becomes inconsistent.
Physiological Gains From A Strong Base
- A proper base increases aerobic capacity, mitochondrial density, and tissue durability.
- It also improves movement economy and mental resilience for long events.
Periodize With Planned Deloads
- Use periodization to structure training across macro, meso, and micro cycles.
- Include deliberate deloads so adaptations settle and fatigue drops.
