Wilson's Adventure Racing, Multisport & Triathlon Sanctuary

Truly, when we sometimes consider the fact that adventure racers are jacks of all trades and masters of none, we stand in awe of those athletes from single-sport disciplines. We admire their tenacity, their dedication to their chosen sport, their mileage, their intimate understanding, their everything.

Are we supposed to be good at all the different sports that adventure racing entails? Of course we are. But it can be a chore cranking out the mileage and keeping the speed & skills sharp for all of them. Where the risks of overtraining & burnout are so much higher when engaged in a single sport; in the case of AR, it is time management and keeping up the mileage that are the bugbears... I'm looking more into the the training principles of Steve Gurney. Focused quality sessions, throw away the rubbish miles, and of course go easy on the sessions which you are supposed to.
