year! That approach does not win Hawaii or support athletic longevity.”
What I have learned and hope you can benefit from:
Skinny does not always mean faster. We all have an optimal race weight, and
we all have to find that. You can feel it, and you know when you are there.
Be attentive to your training and record things when you’re feeling good.
Do not get caught up in the mind-set that lighter is always better.
Think positively about your weight, no matter how heavy you are, after a
break or prior to a big block of work. All that extra weight will protect
you early in your training and build a stronger body. Keep your heart rate
low and focus on strength work in the beginning of your training phase to
capitalize on this. Endurance will come next, and speed is the final piece
as you get closer to your racing weight.
To bring your weight down, do as much through fueling as you do through
training tweaks. Do not rush this. Your body prefers a slow reduction in
weight, and I can assure you that if you do it properly you will hold your
form for a much longer time. Rapid weight loss, and lack of adaption time,
is costly.
You should hit your race weight about three weeks prior to race day. Once
you are at race weight, you have a window of time for feeling excellent—
ride out a few events at this weight or hammer out a big long-course
performance.
