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
