Peak Performance Window

The Peak Performance Window is the optimal time frame when an athlete can achieve their best results, often due to a combination of physical, mental, and environmental factors. It varies individually, influenced by training cycles, rest, nutrition, and mental readiness. For runners, understanding this window helps in planning races and training to maximize performance. Real-world examples include marathoners peaking for major races or sprinters timing their peak for championships. Recognizing this window ensures that runners avoid overtraining or underperforming, aligning their peak with key events for optimal results.
