A strong endurance base is the bedrock for all other training adaptations.Long-term strategies for base building:
- Prioritize consistent Zone 2 (aerobic) training.
- Gradually increase weekly volume, avoiding large jumps.
- Incorporate cross-training to build overall fitness and prevent overuse injuries.
- Focus on proper form and efficiency to reduce wasted energy.
- Ensure adequate recovery and nutrition.
