Rest and Recovery

This stage in my veiw is one of the most important ones. The reason I say this is that you will never make progress if your body is constantly being beat up through out the year, I can account for this first hand.

If you want to get better you have to take at least one week out of the year an not do anything, typically it would be wise to do this after a big race or mabey your last small race of a season. This is what I will be doing one week of nothing which will be very hard for me I hate the thought of doing nothing for one week but I do see the value in what I will gain from it.

After that week I will have three more weeks of this phase. During those three weeks I will slowly build up my miles and crosstrain with biking, swimming, basketball, hiking, etc. Any activity that has a good amount of cardio in can work and I will do it for at least thirty mins at the least.
