Lindsay shares expert advice on managing this intense training load wisely to avoid overtraining and ensure recovery.

Maintaining Fitness and Discipline: With the temptation to constantly break personal bests, Lindsay discusses the importance of disciplined training. Understand the difference between fitness-induced improvements and the risk of overdoing it, especially in the crucial weeks leading up to race day.
