Summary

Are you good at recognizing the levels of fatigue? Today we look at different ways to stack your week to take advantage of the type of athlete you are. More or less days off? Bigger but fewer days? What hits your sweet spot and is it really true? We look at training stress score, training with fatigue, and why a lot of this just depends. Is it mental or physical fatigue? What it means when certain workouts just “feel” harder. Is that a true indicator? Seizing the day, making sure you have enough “oil” in the system, and finding your “in between.” Do you get swim, bike, run, repeat fatigue in general? How to recognize whole body systematic fatigue. Win today and preserve tomorrow.
