Hello,

 I'd like to ask you two questions related to mesocycles in base period. Based on your experience, do you suggest to generally increase volume in base period for 3 weeks and then decrease the volume for 1 week? Or is it better to increase volume in 2 weeks and decrease the volume for third week?

Is it generally better to increase volume in all 3 sports in the same weeks or is it better to distribute it to different weeks? (for example max bike volume on W1 and min run volume on W1).

Thanks a lot,

Elis

I think its difficult to increas volume for all three weeks before backing off. many very experience triathletes and pros may try this. We do not do it. We only go up two weeks then back off teh next week.

Furthermore the sports are not in synch. We do not like to have teh biggest longest bike at teh same time as we also do the longest and toughest  

Does that help?
