Hello, just a question about how much time you should have off between races/ training blocks? I believe I noticed in your book that you said to have 2 weeks off training to allow the body to recover for the next cycle. However- does that 2 weeks mean absolutely no training at all?
I’m really keen to start my level 2 5k plan, & have noticed the first few days seem fairly light. So could you for instance have a full week off, then start the program? Am I also right in presuming it all depends on how ‘hard’ you trained in the previous block? For example, an athlete running 80-100+ miles will need a bigger break than an athlete doing 30-45miles- such as myself?
Hope this question isn’t answered somewhere obvious, I have had a look through the website but couldn’t find the answer. Kind regards.
