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.
