The Training Principle Behind Every Successful Endurance Athlete

​​Free Ultrarunning Training Assessment: https://trainright.com/ultrarunning-t... Every training session creates two things: fitness and fatigue. Whether that training actually makes you a better endurance athlete depends on what happens next. CTS Director of Coaching Cliff Pittman breaks down the science of training stress, recovery, and adaptation, including the General Adaptation Syndrome, supercompensation, and the fitness-fatigue model that underpins modern endurance training. The principle is simple: apply enough stress to stimulate adaptation, then provide enough recovery for your body to absorb it. But getting that balance right is more complicated than alternating hard days and easy days. Interested in working with a coach? Schedule a free consult: https://trainright.com/coaching/ultra...
