WHEN TO START TRAINING FOR THE NEXT 'A' RACE

HOW FAR OUT SHOULD WE START TRAINING for the next 'A' race?  It's a good question, with several things to consider.  Regardless of the variables...

... there are two answers.

Before we get to the correct answer, we have to consider:

• When is the next 'A' race?
• How important is it?

For example, my friend is an Olympian.  He was limited to competing once every 4 years...

... there was nothing else that mattered to him.

It took him 14 years to qualify,
and, when he got there,
win 2 gold medals.

We are no different.

If that 'A' race is next spring, or in a couple of years, to be our best we should have...

... started years ago.

The next best time...

... is now.
