when to or not to Massage

in the lactate threshold thread there has been a discussion about massage and when to do it.

i think it really warrants its own thread from my point as a coach we run with a 2 on 1 off 3 on 1 off weekly set up.

the question remains with the use of a massage therapist at our hands when do we fit it into the plan without the risk of ruining ones rhythm for the next session or weekends comp.

If you get a chance, get hold of the Vancouver 2004 DVD, as it has a breakdown of the priority times for massage on weekly training cycles, in order of priority, from once a week all the way to every day twice a day.

charlie i have got most of your dvds and have just watched the first vancouver dvd AGAIN…
I am about to send the girl shopping so i can sit here and watch vancouver 2004…

You probably do! But I’m pretty sure that graph was covered there. BTW, did you get the graph package with it? If you don’t have it- send an E-mail to info@charliefrancis.com with your purchase info and ask Rupert for it.
