Race Your Way to Fitness: How to Effectively Build Racing Into Your Training Program

There’s no better preparation for race day than another race but the key is understanding how to schedule your races so that it enhances your training rather than getting in the way. 

We’ll cover racing topics today that include:

• What separates a goal race from a tuneup race or other races in training
• How racing more can make you better prepared for your goal race
• How to pick the right race that fits in your training
• Whether you need to taper when racing in the middle of a training block
• How far apart your races should be from other races or hard workouts
• Why you might not want to give your full effort at every race

If you want to know how to make racing a more regular part of your training routine then make sure you listen to today’s show.
