I. Phase 3 of the Non-Scientific View called Training:
We have discussed the first two phases of training by discussing play and cruise control in our everyday lives of training, now James talks about the Phase 3 of Training and the more serious side of improving our ability as humans.
Training
All right, now things are getting a little more interesting, this is the phase that you should be spending the bulk of your training year in. Your priorities are now becoming clear, you have a theme, but also a plan, you’re implementing a formal progression model and are pushing the weights up and/or energy system demands. The major difference between training and the final phase Hittin it!!! Is that based on how advanced you are as an athlete you are “testing” very infrequently, general rule of thumb is that the more advanced you are the less frequently it becomes, some like to test every 9-12 weeks, with some easy weeks planned amongst the training (Deload). The volume and intensity within these weeks of training should be varied to allow for some compensation and recovery, as well as progress. Just make sure that you aren’t going for a personal best each and every session and that you aren’t exaggerating the amount of volume in each session, the rule for this one is: “There is always tomorrow”.
