Hi Juerg,

I wish you and your family all the best in the New Year.

I have a question for you and those accessing the forum.

An athlete’s preparations for an important event are both physical and mental. Given this, would testing the athlete in the couple weeks prior to race day simply sets them up for a possible loss of confidence if the test is anything less than optimal? Therefore, should the last test(s) prior to competition occur 4 or 5 weeks before? From a research/coaching perspective it is interesting to see progression over time and final fitness level prior to competition.

Cheers Kevin
