Subject: RE: Base training and racingUntil you have a solid base, do not add speed work. It's tough on your body and can easily result in reduced quality of your base work load.
This is why it's so important to have a periodized training plan... you need to have recovery weeks and recovery days (or day ) to accommodate heavier loads.
3 weeks out and I wouldn't do any speed work... you really only have this week, after that, you need to taper. |
