I saw something the other day where someone said they were in the training to train stage of their preparation. Stop and think about that for a minute- Why would you train to train? Training should never be an end unto itself. You may be month’s away form the competitive season, but you should never take your eye off the ball so to speak. The goal of training is preparation for competition. Training is process and it is a process that is ongoing and cumulative. It is the competitive goals that give training a purpose and direction. Through training overall work capacity should increase and consequently readiness for more quality training will also increase, but you should never lose sight of the goal. The goal is preparation for competition.
