What if I told you that taking a step back and intentionally reducing your training load (volume) could actually lead to greater gains and improved performance, especially while training for endurance event. Today we are going to start by talking about what cut back weeks are in running, as well as, how and why you should incorporate them appropriately into your training plan. We also touch on what they are NOT. Then we delve into what are STRIDES, how, when and WHY every runner should incorporate them into their weekly running, the benefits gained and what they are not.
