Do You Have Training Schizophrenia?

Posted by Dan on November 26th 2007 to Training

Alwyn Cosgrove made a really good point on his blog about what he calls Training Schizophrenia. It’s a very interesting thing that I think a lot of us have been guilty of in the past (or you might even be guilty of it right now!)

Here’s the basic idea: you start a new training program. Then you read an article by another ‘guru’ and change your plan 2 weeks later. Then your friend gives you some advice and you change your plan again the next week. Do you see where I’m going with this?

So what is Alwyn’s advice if you suffer from Training Schizophrenia? Stick to any plan for 8-16 weeks before you even think of making a huge change. If you’re doing any less than that you are missing out on pretty much any of the benefits of whatever plan you are following.

Here is his blog post if you want to read more: Training Schizophrenia. Personally, I think this is great advice!
