4 Tips For In-Season Training

May 13

Summer is almost here and you know what that means…RACING HAS BEGUN! In light of that, we wanted to highlight some of our in-season appropriate program options and a few other tips to help you perform and recover your best all summer long.

Keep gym work short and sweet: Perform 1-2 gym sessions each week and try to limit your sessions to under 1 hour (ideally 30-45 minutes)
Keep a good buffer zone: schedule your gym sessions away from important aerobic sessions - ideally 48 hours.
Don’t get fancy now: If you haven’t been lifting in the off-season, be very careful about what you implement during the season. Ideally, our in-season gym training mimics a lot of the concepts that we worked on in the off-season, but at a much lower volume to maintain prime energy and strength for our aerobic activity.
Recovery is critical: Prioritize recovery - your availability for hard training and to fire on all cylinders when your race/event comes is our main goal this time of year! Perform 1-2+ Recovery sessions each week to make sure your body is dialed in and ready to go.
