The age of Instagram.
Sees an athlete doing it.
Copies athlete.
😑
If you’re a beginner, or even an intermediate, you probably haven’t built the capacity to train twice per day.
You will still get A LOT of adaptation from a smart one per day training plan.
Stop trying to rush the process.
It’s too much intensity for you, too soon.
You’re adding a session AND adding intensity at the same time.
Do one of the other. Manage your workload.
AM: Threshold run
PM: Easy bike
👆🏼
That’s a smart progression from single days to double, on the road to double threshold days.
If you already miss the point of threshold sessions and run them too hard, then doing that twice a day is even worse 🤦♂️
The aim isn’t to suffer. The aim is to sit at the right intensity to drive adaptation. The aim of double threshold is to increase the amount of time you train at that intensity.
Stop treating every session like a race.
You train like an athlete but still eat like a bodybuilder.
You’re using glycogen when you train. You need to replace this between your sessions so you can utilise again in the second session.
Protein is not your main goal anymore. Carbs are.
You’re not recovering in that time. You’re basically getting an elongated rest between efforts 😅
Refuel. Rehydrate. Recover mentally and physically.
Somewhere between 4-8 hours.
