Every time a holiday comes round, the same fear turns up: this is the week it all falls apart.

It isn't. In this episode I go through what actually happens to your body over seven days away from training — which is far less than most people think — and then the thing that genuinely derails people, which has nothing to do with the week itself.

I recorded this before heading away for a week, mid-block for the Great North Run, so it's the exact problem I'm solving for myself.

In this episode:

• What people fear a week off costs them
• What actually happens to strength, muscle and bodyweight over seven days
• Why the real risk is day nine, not day two
• The reason a week becomes three weeks becomes three months
• What to decide before you go, not after you're back
• How I'm handling my own week away mid-training block

You're not going to lose it in seven days. But you do need to know what the first session back looks like before you leave.

If you want a plan built to survive a week off — and a bad week, and a busy month — DM me BUILD on Instagram or book a Kickstart Session at fitt-on.co.uk.
