Show Notes
As the age-old adage goes, timing is everything. As we're winding down the 2020 "season" and beginning to look towards 2021, it's a critical thing to consider when planning our calendar. Choosing A vs. B races, when to start the weight lifting and base phases, and how to approach a peak and taper all come down to timing. With a little bit of preparation and planning, and a tip from Goldilocks, we can come into the 2021 season not too hot, not too cold, but just right.
