For less experienced athletes, I think it's a challenge to know exactly how long to take off after a race. What I would try is to test some different scenarios. Maybe an athlete could try and do two races, two weeks apart and then reflect on how well that worked for them. For some athletes, that kind of approach works really well–doing two races close together. They're in top form, they recover quickly, and they can race quite effectively. For other athletes, that doesn't work. For a new athlete, I think the goal would be to try and create tests or conditions where you can try different things and be very mindful and diligent about how you plan, record, and prepare so you can determine what works well and what doesn’t work as well.
