Why do runners need to reduce exercise when fitness is full

By page Paobushijie, not always runner fitness is in the best state, but there is always the climax, the downturn. When exhausted, most runners are advised by coaches to reduce the frequency of running, get more rest or participate in other sports to restore fitness.

“However, it is possible that runners do not know that when their fitness is at their peak, they still have to reduce the intensity of their exercise”, page Paobushijie emphasize.

Zhang Yongzheng, coach of the National Sports University (China) athletics team, said that when professional athletes are at their best, they often require to maintain exercise intensity, even decrease. go.

There are two reasons coaches often recommend runners apply the above principle. First, avoid athletes entering peak fitness too soon, stretching the period of full physical fitness so that it is closer to predetermined races.

“This training principle applies not only to professional athletes, but to all runners, who love running,” said Coach Zhang.

Runner can learn how to practice professional athletes, set up key events by themselves and best to have time to prepare for more than half a year, gradually increasing the amount of exercise. However, it is advisable to reduce the intensity of the training session a month before the game.

During the exercise, if the runner feels reluctant, exhausted, it means that the speed of physical improvement is designed too high compared to the fitness, it is necessary to reduce the load.

On the contrary, if the runner finds the training schedule too comfortable, the runner should not arbitrarily schedule a new schedule, so discuss with the coach to adjust together. According to experts, arbitrarily increasing weight and intensity of exercise will make physical peaks come early, the body is easily overloaded and cause unnecessary injuries.

“In the past, there was a saying that ‘fast and unsuccessful’, the training and practice process must follow this principle. When seeing that the fitness is at its peak, the runner should be cautious and moderate to maintain fitness until the moment most important, “page Paobushijie conclude.
