Simple injury prevention--Tip 2

More on deloading.
I thought I would help to make deloading easier to follow with a quick glance chart.

For example: If I have been training 2 weeks at 40 miles per week with 6 miles of quality, I would "deload" my third week to 30 miles with 3-4 miles of quality and I would probably add a rest day. Deloading is a great way to allow the body recover & remodel itself. This format of 2 weeks up and 1 week down will allow an athlete to become stronger for what is next.
