Today's episode is a deep dive into setting up successful training. Sometimes the most important things are overlooked while we focus on things that won't help if the foundations aren't there.
I walk through my 'pyramid of training importance' starting off with the most important and fundamental concepts and layering on more advanced concepts finishing with 'nice to haves'.
This episode will help you if you're structuring your summer or autumn training or reviewing your spring training and working out what tweaks to make.
If you need additional help with your planning DM me 'plan' on IG (@therunningrules) or email (alan@therunningrules.com)
