063. Coach Lab with Daniel Rowland | From planning to practice: how to set up your training week

Running long - A trail & ultra running talk

How do we go from setting our goals for the season to actually setting up a plan or a strategy in order to achieve them?

This is the main topic of this episode with coach Daniel Rowland, a trail and ultramarathon runner and Vert.run coach, one of the most interesting Twitter profiles I follow and a great expert in endurance science.

We will talk about the concept of microcycle vs macrocycle, what should be included and how long it should be; how to set up your microcycle, the key elements, matching the focus of the macrocycle and the choice and order of the sessions; how to monitor your training load and the key metrics for it. Finally, we will give a few practical examples to better understand how your typical microcycle (which often coincides with your training week) could look like.

Enjoy!
