Something that has profoundly made itself known to me now that I have adopted Fortitude Training is just how powerful the cruise aspect of training is.
I am in my fourth cruise now and, once again, have experienced a grand hike in scales weight (while paying attention to calorie intake, mostly through a pro/fat approach).
In each of the previous three cruises, I have added 1-1.5kg over the ~ 2 weeks of semi-downtime.
Which got me to thinking - how much are people who insist on prolonging the blast aspect losing out by?
Seems to me, giving it pretty much all I've got, that five or six weeks of blasting really is ALL I can manage before I NEED a cruise.
It's working out at roughly 6 weeks in crazy training mode and 2 weeks in fluffy-warm semi-time-out land (just like the book suggested as an upper bound, I think).
So, has anyone else got a tempo they're finding effective?
