[quote author="Jay Turner" date="1278220181"]What about rest after having a mini-peak during indoor? Would it be more beneficial to take a few days or maybe a week completely off, or would reducing training sessions to very light, low key activities for 2-3 weeks be better?
I would generally remove all heavy CNS work for approx 4 days. Continue with recovery type days. Such as Low intensity weightlifting circuits, bike / pool sessions. And then gradually introduce your outdoor plan in from there.
Obviously the time required depends on how long the indoor season was.[/quote]I’ll give you an example…
The indoor season starts in January (January 3, 2011 begins my SPP training). The first indoor meet is January 22nd. The Indoor State Meet is March 19, 2011. This means the indoor season lasts 10 weeks, and we run 3-4 indoor meets during this period. Thoughts on how long the recovery phase should be after the championship meet on March 19?
