Episode 122: Periodization in the Good Times and Bad.

Periodization sounds complex, but it’s really just how we plan and organize our training. Do you build a big base and then go short and fast with speedwork? Or employ a blended or mixed system? In this episode we break down periodization and discuss how to use it not only when things are going well, but when you are working on a compressed timescale.
