Training Ideas

Thinking today about training after watching so many people blow up this year during ironman races. The race is long and challenging, but it is not that bad. It does not require all of the stress we place on our bodies preparing for the event. People need to be fresh and ready to race. I believe the keys to training are frequency, consistency, and recovery. Frequency as in doing each discipline multiple times per week, but not necessary long workouts. Consistency as in training from week to week, month to month, and year to year. Your base fitness accumulates from year to year if you're consistent. Recovery as in from the stressors in our life. Recovery from training as well as job and family related stress. If we don't recovery our muscles will not develop. My thoughts for the day. Bryan
