Tristar Athlete, depending on how long and hard your racing season was you will need some period of a break both physically and mentally. Recharging the battery makes it possible to achieve new peaks when the valleys are planned just right. Our coaches have laid out these ground rules towards helping you determine how best to approach this planned for key phase; we believe this is just as important as the peak build phases our athletes must complete before major races. Take as much time off as you need.. but remember fitness waits for no one and neither does your competition!

Our coaches provide our top tips for your run and how to stay fast and injury free.
