When To - and When NOT To - Sweet Spot
Ben Delaney
To sweet spot or not to sweet spot - that is NOT the question! Of course you should sweet spot. Everybody does - whether they are doing so consciously or not.
But WHEN to sweet spot, and WHEN NOT to sweet spot, THAT is the question.
And that is the subject of today’s podcast. If you don’t have time to listen to the entire pod, or you get interrupted, the takeaway here is that most of you should be sweetspotting now, during the winter and early spring, and then when you switch from base to race, that’s when you should stop sweet spotting and focus on your intervals.
When to Stop Sweet Spotting, is a continuation from our previous popular episodes "Switch from Base to Race"
