Risks & Rewards<br />

Rewards: There is a diminishing rate <strong>of</strong> performance increase as your<br />

training load increases<br />

Risks: There is an exponential increase in risk <strong>of</strong> illness or injury as you<br />

increase your training load<br />

Consistency: <strong>Training</strong> week in and week out is key to improvement. Two<br />

weeks very hard training followed by a month <strong>of</strong>f injured is not a long term<br />

strategy. If in doubt undercook your training to keep progressing. Quit that<br />

interval session with one rep left in you. Don’t force that extra mile on a long<br />

run without a very good reason. Next week or the week after you’ll be able<br />

to do more.
