I've done cycles before (i.e., strength in the winter, endurance in the spring, etc.) as discussed in this thread and found I was losing a lot of what I had gained in the previous cycles by the time I came back around to them. I have been trying to shift to more of GPP through the year with short cycles for specific tasks - not too unlike Brett Jones article. It's been going well to have a GPP base and then hitting a sport specific program in preparation for whatever it has been. However, some things I'm getting into are more of a season rather than an event.
My question lies around what type of programming makes sense for the "in-season" of a couple months? I feel like S&S has been perfect for my post-season and recovery the last 2 years but does limit my performance on sport specific tasks. The "pre-season" event prep programs I've done have done a good job in preparing me and peaking for events. I want to maintain a high level through a season without risking injury. Is it as simple as less volume and intensity of the same pre-season work?
