When leading up to competition it’s very important that we are feeling our best when the big day comes around. I personally like to do this by incorporating a deload week the week before competing. This makes us feel more energised, feel recovered and ready to compete.  


In a deload week you should:

  • ⁠  ⁠Scale back training by reducing weight & intensity.
  • ⁠  ⁠Focus on technique, this will take valuable seconds off your time.
  • ⁠  ⁠Chill out more, however you may do this. 
  • ⁠  ⁠Sleep more.
  • ⁠  ⁠Eat a high protein diet varied diet.

Here’s an example of a deload week:


Monday - train at 80% - strength training

Tuesday -  Rest & Stretch

Wednesday - Rest & Stretch

Thursday - Train 45 minutes aerobic conditioning (light weights)

Friday - Train 30 minutes of easy effort jogging with a couple of high intensity efforts to loosen up and get the blood pumping. 

Saturday - Race Day



When it comes to nutrition on race week, it’s important that recovery is at the top of our priorities. This means:

  • ⁠  ⁠Lots of protein
  • ⁠  ⁠Lots of carbohydrates 
  • ⁠  ⁠A good amount of healthy fats
  • ⁠  ⁠Lots of fruit and vegetables
  • ⁠  ⁠Nothing that causes additional inflammation (don’t be having dairy if you’re lactose intolerant etc.) 

We also need to stay hydrated all week. 3-4 litres of water per day is a minimum! 


Note that deload weeks don’t always have to be just before a competition. You might use a deload week after an intense training block to recover before starting a new one.
