Understanding Base vs. Build vs. Peak

Ever wonder how and why training plans are structured the way they are?  What exactly happens during the base and build and peak weeks of training?  In this episode we try to demystify the different phases of a race build.  We talk specific workouts, how long each phases lasts, and make distinctions between short and long course plans.  We also talk a little bit about the taper and why it's so varied for each athlete.  Have a listen!
