## Resource

After a short break for the holidays, Chris and Rob are back for their first episode of 2026 talking about deloads. There are two scenarios in which deloads are taken: planned and unplanned. Planned deloads are written into a training program when fatigue is expected to accumulate. Unplanned deloads are taken when fatigue accidentally accumulates.
