The plan between the plan: Answering the question of what the heck to do after your goal race is completed

If you just finished a goal race you might be thinking what the
heck do I do now? Well, let’s talk about the plan between the
plan.


In a previous episode we aired two weeks ago, coach Michael gave
us 5 great ways you can maximize your training between races. Now
that you know “WHY” your training in this period is so important,
we’re going to build on those lessons with “HOW” to train so you
can maximize all of the benefits we discussed. This is the plan
between the plan.


Finishing your race doesn’t have to mean ditching training until
the next race approaches. The period between your training blocks
is the perfect time to give your mind and body a rest while
building an aerobic base to set yourself up for success before
the next hard stretch of training. 


In today’s show, we’ll guide you in crafting the perfect plan
between the plan with topics including:


How long should you wait after a goal race to start training
again?

What volume and frequency of runs is right for you between
training blocks?

How to identify your weaknesses and then adjust your training
to become a better runner

How group training or a bootcamp can help to set you up for
success

And lots of other advice for getting yourself prepared to
crush your next big race
