Postpone workouts or recalculate the plan
It happens from time to time that you can’t or don’t want to complete a workout as planned. Whether it’s due to the weather, a busy schedule, or simply not feeling up to it. With 2PEAK, that’s not a problem. Why? Because the plan always adjusts to the changed circumstances.
Cardiovascular drift is a well-known phenomenon, but the exact timing of its occurrence in the body remains unclear, as it is highly individual and depends on many different factors. Essentially, cardiovascular drift is when your heart rate increases even though your exercise intensity remains the same.
During winter, without any races going on you’re mostly just training (more or less by yourself). You train but you still don’t really know where you stand in comparison to other athletes. Then Easter rolls along, many have already been in their first training camp for this year and the race season is only a few weeks away. Yup, time is definitely flying by and with it comes the question if we are on course/track. Am I training enough? Am I making progress? Is my data correct?

Race Recovery
After a race there’s always two aspects to be analysed. How is your body (physical aspect) and how’s the head (psychological aspect) dealing with the ups and downs and the fight with ourselves? It’s normal and a good stimulus for us to not always be 100% happy with how a race went. Because there’s always at least one thing that could be optimised. Important is, that we can use this to learn and improve ourselves for the next big day.
