As long as you keep intensity up, you can reduce frequency and duration by at least a third with zero drop in fitness. <br /><br />Decreasing duration of exercise by 1/3rd results in an increase in VO2max of 5% building steadily from weeks 1-5 after peaking. Decreasing intensity however, is a disaster. Showing up at the staring line exhausted is a good way to insure failure. I like to succeed. <br /><br />In my experience, too much rest is a myth. It makes you a bit slower early, but you feel super-strong by the end. I think the implication is obvious. YMMV, but the research supports this view.Grey Beardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02238917041257429804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11239428.post-35069985861856178852009-07-22T11:17:59.044-07:002009-07-22T11:17:59.044-07:00You?
