Send us a textTo excel at a multiday fitness competition, you need to be prepared for an immense workload.Athletes who may perform incredibly on Event 1 are gassed by Event 8.While every athlete must be powerful, having so many events over multiple days gives an advantage to the athletes who recover the fastest.By the final day, it may be less about who can perform the best fresh, and more about who is the least tired.The greater your cardiorespiratory fitness, the faster you recover from all types of exercise.High CRF is associated with improved autonomic nervous system function, which has been linked to humans' ability to control inflammation, preserve immunity, and even recover our ability to produce maximum voluntary force.[1,2,3,4]The fitter you are, the faster you can recover, and the closer you can stay to your peak performance through a multiday fitness comp.The game of fitness can be summarized as:Chronically increase training load.This requires that we:have an idea what our training load isavoid big fluctuationsincrease it incrementally over months and yearsFor athletes who want to join a long term approach to fitness sport, I'm designing the first in a series of programs: Offseason Level 1.Offseason training for beginner and intermediate fitness athletesFoundational strength training, conditioning and skill acquisitionTraining PrioritiesBasic Strength and Functional HypertrophyOlympic Weightlifting SkillGymnastic StrengthEssential MobilityAerobic Endurance and PacingTap here to join the waitlist: ​https://paul-b-weber.kit.com/105c01429dReferences[1] The Relation between High Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Low Inflammation is Mediated by Autonomic Nervous System Function​https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/circ.118.suppl_18.S_1158-c?doi=10.1161/circ.118.suppl_18.S_1158-c​[2] Parasympathetic Nervous Activity Mirrors Recovery Status in Weightlifting Performance After Training https://www.researchgate.net/publication/49791584_Parasympathetic_Nervous_Activity_Mirrors_Recovery_Status_in_Weightlifting_Performance_After_Training​[3] Recovery of central and peripheral neuromuscular fatigue after exercise​https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/japplphysiol.00775.2016​[4] Effects of Exercise Training on the Autonomic Nervous System with a Focus on Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidants Effects​https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8868289/
