The base phase is fundamental for building lasting endurance.
Key goals:

• Develop aerobic capacity (Zone 2 training).
• Improve muscular endurance.
• Strengthen supporting structures to prevent injury.
• Establish consistent training habits.

Methodologies often include long, steady distance, general strength work, and mobility.
