Episode notes
Return To Training By Feel
- Do lead your post-event return by feel and curiosity rather than immediately starting another rigid prep.
- Do check if sessions feel easy, niggles settle, and you actually look forward to training before starting specific race prep.
Structure Conditioning By Time Available
- Do prioritize two quality interval sessions plus one sub-threshold steady session if you only have ~3 hours/week.
- Do use more easy volume and two hours of higher-intensity work when you have ~8 hours/week.
Train Sleds With Specific Intent
- Do train sled work with specific intent: match movement, load, duration, and fatigue if it's part of selection.
- Do use heavy short pushes for strength and lighter repeatable pushes for conditioning depending on goals.
