Embrace Fatigue, but Remember to have scheduled rest
Cumulative fatigue is an essential component of effective training, requiring athletes to engage intensively and regularly. However, it is crucial to manage this fatigue through scheduled rest periods, such as active rest phases lasting two weeks, which allow the body to recover and recalibrate after intense training cycles. It is recommended to have smaller easy weeks interspersed regularly and to utilize weekends for recovery. This cyclical approach to training involves letting fatigue accumulate while also implementing necessary deloads to reduce fatigue levels substantially. Every six months, a significant drop to nearly zero fatigue through dedicated rest is imperative to ensure sustained performance and avoid burnout.
