Listen "14: How to Build Training Load"
Episode Synopsis
Less than 8 weeks until Barcelona Marathon, so Josh and Michael are really ramping up their training. They go into their training, both recent and future, and talk quite a lot about how they are planning on building their training load and structuring their training weeks.
If they want to get close to a sub-2:28, they realise they'll need to be averaging over 100 miles per week, likely peaking at around 200km. Josh has it all in his head, and Michael is wrapping his around the idea of going to bed early enough to fit it in.
Josh gears up to get kicked out of his virtual competition and Michael decides his entire training block will be completed on the same out and back.
Find out how Josh thinks about hitting training load goals when his target is up around 200km per week, right at the end of the episode.
