Building Your Endurance Base: Long-Term Strategies
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.
