On the 2012 return to the Tipcast we discuss the reasons why you gain weight rapidly when you up your training, like during a training camp. Be sure to checkout the latest on training at ESPAnswers.com. We're also looking for new Tipcast topics, so keep send those questions over to esppodcast@gmail.com.

So I am often asked how to manage all the training demands and options for training. So many years I struggled with pen and paper always knowing I needed a bigger canvas. So when I set up my office I found this 4X6 whiteboard for $35 on craigslist. Here I periodized the season (middle right side) and then in preparing for the opening XTerra I put that plan up and then worked my way back 7 weeks. I like to get the big ideas out first then spot all the problems and easily erase and rewrite. Doing things on smalls sheets, or worse yet, Training Peaks terribly slow platform is to difficult. Once you've hammered it out, you can put it in production form and use it!
