Sub 40 within reach?

Hi NR .. we train to race .. if we race too often we cannot train .. therefore we land up racing on empty

during the many races currently, you can only focus on AEROBIC runs, what we recommend here is up to 1hr and currently only every 2nd day to allow for us much recovery as possible

soon you would need to go onto an off-period to get rid of all the niggles and then build back up

we have a race period for the more elite, do look at it but realise this is aimed at athletes who have the experience and background to do this without fear of breakdown

NR, you need to be careful to know that at any time your performances can drop off and that you can go stale, you in a decent space now but try to avoid the signs of over doing things

this may be overtraining signals however they also apply to over racing

do monitor the knee
