We consider the practical goals and abilities of our athletes with respect to their individual needs. We believe that the quality of training is far more important than the quantity of training. As Neal says “More is always more, but more is not always better.” While it is not possible to get faster without training hard, too much training can easily overload even the most experienced athlete and lead to diminished performance. Finding the best balance between high intensity work and quality recovery is the key to making the greatest gains in fitness. APEX Coaching believes that Polarized Training is the most effective strategy to improving performance. This means we will never prescribe weeks and weeks of “base” training with no high intensity work, and you will never have weeks and weeks of doing only one type of interval. Finally, APEX Coaching believes that health always comes before fitness, and that maintaining a balance between athletic pursuits and life’s priorities is key to longterm success.
