Understanding the elements required to maximise endurance performance is all well and good. But the key to success is knowing how to blend these components in a way that maximises performance potential, while minimising the risk of injury and burnout.
In this section, you’ll find information on exactly what this means in terms of planning and structuring your training programme.
