What if you could take a long break from running and not lose any fitness? 

The theory is simple; train harder now so that you have mileage “banked” for later when you might be training less. 

We’ll look more closely at whether this could be an effective strategy with topics including:

  • Why mileage matters for building aerobic fitness
  • How long it takes to lose fitness during a break from training
  • What is supercompensation and whether it helps you to hold onto fitness longer
  • Whether it matters how you spread mileage across a training cycle or if it’s only the total volume that counts
  • Whether banking mileage is an effective strategy that you should consider adopting 

Don’t let a break eat into your fitness and find out if you can really bank fitness beforehand.
