How and why we periodize your training?

Karel goes through following training phases building up to a race or event:
1. Bases phase
2. VO2max phase
3. Lactate threshold phase
4. Endurance phase
5. Tapering phase

Instead of just training at the intensity of the goal event, Karel incorporates V02max and Threshold interval training months before the main goal, and will conclude with endurance & steady state runs closer to his goal event (if it’s an ultra).
