Read MoreImproving through Recovery
/
Recovery is vital to us all in allowing the body to absorb and adapt to a training load (Volume x Intensity) and get fitter as a result. Recent club racing experiences have been educational for us all in understanding how long it can take to recover from different workout loads, and how that recovery time can vary due to basic genetic differences, age and fitness.
In Brighton Tri Club we are now moving into the build phase in our seasonal training cycle, which means that the intensity of sessions is increasing in order to get us ready for race efforts in the late spring and summer. That doesn’t mean that we stop doing easier workouts though.

You'll all have heard one or more coaches talk about "periodisation" and "phases" in club sessions.
