Malmo;
Just trying to get your advice on what to do with mileage as you approach a peak. In your experience did you find it best to ....
1. Hold total mileage, but decrease the amount of quality work.
2. Drop mileage a small amount, with the the quality work showing a similar dip.
3. Drop mileage significantly, with the quality work showing a similar drop.
4. Some other option.
I would appreciate your insight.
Bump
how did you manage to leave out the only good option
why does the quality always drop?
It takes a better question than that to smoke Malmo out of his cave. This is a little too obvious. the answer is between 3 and 4, mostly 4, toward those last couple of weeks.
I'm not trying to smoke Malmo out ... I respect his opinion. In terms of the other posters; quality may change, but not proportionally speaking. I would think that increasing quality:volume would leave the athlete deadlegged for racing.
In truth, I'm more interested in volume, and whether it should drop significantly.
