Ask Coach Nate 7: Sweetspot and Polarized Training

Описание: In this video Gregory and Coach Nate discuss Polarized training and Sweetspot training, what they are, why you would do either type of training, and whether they are in conflict. Depending on what your fitness level and goals are, all training intensities can be a key part of your overall program and shouldn't be avoided. But, the quantity of time spent at any intensity should be considered so that you can make sure you do the training that's important to your goals and you don't burn yourself out doing too much of any one kind of training. Likewise, we want to think about how you can focus on training that will be appropriate for your goals.

So, Sweetspot training can be a key part of any endurance athletes program, but you rarely if ever want to focus exclusively on that intensity. And, the timing of when you may do a lot of Sweetspot intensity training can vary depending on your end goals.

As always, most of your training should be diversified so that you include at least a little bit of training at different intensities (power levels or paces), but the mix and overall difficulty of your training must change over time if you want to get the best results. Singular focus on any one type of training or constantly doing difficult but not peak training will never yield the best results.

Stay healthy; mix it up; you'll reach your peak if you keep at it!
