Coaching

RACE SPECIFICITY

The principle that training should progressively mimic target event demands. Climbing events need climbing intervals; crits need repeated sprints.

Specificity intensifies as the event approaches. Base: general fitness. Build: sessions mimic race demands. Peak: simulate race efforts precisely. The trap: training too specifically too early narrows the fitness base.
