Philosophy of training

  • Consistent training:
    • Relentless, regular and resolute
    • "Doing the least amount of training that still achieves your goal"
  • Moderate:
    • As your fitness improves, a hard workout becomes moderate. Within the season, your definition of moderation rises.
    1. Within 10% of the duration / intensity of a workout you've done previously.
    2. Can bounce back from quickly in time for next demanding workout.
    3. If you aren't recovered fully in 48h, then it was too hard.

 

 

Clear Goal Immediate Feedback Expert Instruction Specific Practice

 

Purposeful training

  1. Clear goal for the season = goal

Clear goal for the workout = purpose

  1. Expert instruction: workout purpose points at your season's goal. Goal is the accumulation of daily purposes. Involves understanding a lot about sport science, so having an expert will help you.
  2. Specific practice: Stay focused on doing the workout as planned. An exception is to make the session easier if you discover you aren't ready for it.
  3. Immediate feedback: Get feedback on technique or workout results as soon as possible.
