Stacking Your Training

Today we look at how workouts weave together with soothing, straining, and stressful sessions. The C26 Triple S!

This one is great for all athletes and at the center of how to be consistent, improve, and not go through life shelled. Stress on the body is definitely the way to get better, but if you’re not recovering, or understanding the concept/difference between strain and stress, you will eventually end up in trouble.

Patience is a great asset on the race course and it is a learned practice in training. When you should go hard and when you should pull back are key factors in getting better, and frankly, feeling good in your life.
