The main thing to monitor if You have put together fixed training schedule and established a goal, is the formation of fitness. The concept of fitness is about how effectively Your trainings have accumulated in Your organism and therefore increased Your physical potential. The most efficient way to increase Your fitness, goes through supercompensation. It means that in the beginning of the microcycle the organism will be exhausted.

All energy supplies will be completely consumed. During recovery organism restores it’s energy supplies not only to former level, but higher (in surplus). On the next active period at microcycle, the physical potential is bigger, due to expanded energy supplies. As a result of systematic repetition of exercises, organism adapts with current circumstances and fitness will be formed.

 
You can make supercompensation more effective by joining the trainings in the very beginning, thus training continuously for several days, before the organism can begin restoring the energy supplies in surplus. As a result the organism sums up the training outputs, and supercompensation and recovery both take place on charge of that whole period. Therefore the amount of spent energy is much bigger and organism will add more extra resources into it’s energy supplies.

 
Very important is to monitor what kind of food You are consuming while in recovery. For good training results it is very important to keep an eye on Your diet. Food is the nr. 1 fuel for athlete! But we’ll talk longer about that afterwards.
