Coaching Call - 4th march

Ben and Fletch are back after a half-term hiatus and straight into the reality of Badwater prep, now that Ben’s entry is confirmed. They talk touch on the unglamorous but essential admin, hotels, flights etc, then zoom in on what is actually driving performance right now: consistent weeks, smart strength work, and sessions that sharpen the top end without burning the whole system down.

They also introduce the logic of a deload week, why travel counts as training load, and how heat prep will be layered in later, not bolted on in a panic. The thread running through it all is the same: follow the plan, but never blindly, because long races are won by good decisions as much as good legs.
