Well it is January.  I was hoping to get an episode out sooner, but the holidays just have a way of messing up plans.  So I did the best I could to make up for the long absense.   In this episode, I share some insight on how to make this January the best yet.  There are all sorts of info out there on New Years Resolutions of course.  But if you want this year to be different than the past ones, listen in on some of my best advice.  Do you suffer from Taper Tantrums?  Many of the clients I work with have a hard time with tapers.  Will cutting back on training really help your performance?  Despite all the research many have a hard time accepting this fact.  Well I share some incredible research showing how much tapering can actually help you, plus the best way to go about it.   Finally, in my interview this episode I have on Veejay Jones.  If you follow this sport regularly, then I probably don't need to say much about Veejay.  He has been blowing up the sport with overwhelming success at a young age.  With multiple first place elite finishes, Veejay is doing all the right things for a long and successful career. I wanted to get him on to learn more about what he contributes to his success.  Veejay shares some of his training insight and some of his favorite types of workouts.  He stresses the importance of strength training, understanding periodization, favorite recovery strategies, plus how to plan out your race season.   All this and much more.     Full show notes:  www.ocrunderground.com/episode-67
