So we made it through a 6, 8 , 10 or even 12 week training cycle… Now what?

We need to re-test you. Whether this is a planned competition or a weeks worth of testing you should be ready to give your all to prove the work you have done has gotten you to your goals.

Structure this in a way that you will be as fresh as possible which usually means taking a week or a couple days to taper your training. Following the taper set the environment to help you succeed. For me that is dreaming about being successful and allowing myself to be placed in a positive atmosphere where success is awarded. I do well in competitions so thats where i do most of my testing.

Competitions are not necessary so don;t feel that you have to compete to hit goals. I do however recognize the value in competing and suggest it to all my clients. It is fun to work towards something and have a final point in which to express your training.

Now, Go train and let me know how things progress!!
