Every athlete needs to assess how they are feeling today. Assess how your body has responded to Monday-Wednesdays sessions and either do the following:
1 – Take a full rest day. If this is the option you choose, then you are not allowed to feel guilty for not going into the gym. Resting is crucial to advancement in your training so if you choose to rest then have no regrets!
2 – Mobilize. Use your regular training time to mobilize. Find your problem areas and spend some time focusing on those areas.
3 – Active Recovery. This could be swimming, doing a trail run, a low intensity row session or spending time on low impact movements. We will provide an optional active recovery session that can be done at low intensity so the focus can be on restorative activity and not deplete you for the remaining week of training.
Optional Active Recovery Session
42 Minute C2 Bike @ Zone 2 Pace
**Every 6 minutes, including 0:00, complete a 60 second Plank Hold
LEGENDS QUALIFIER NOTES
The Legends Qualifier Workouts have been released! We are aware that some of you will be doing the qualifiers so we want to provide a little guidance on how to attack them. We acknowledge that everyone is different so how you spread the qualifiers out over the next month is ultimately up to you. However, this is what we suggest to keep minimal disruption to your training:
Over the next 3 weeks prioritize a qualifier workout on Friday and Saturday. This way Monday-Wednesday sessions can be performed as normal without too much disruption to the training progressions. The fourth week can be used to redo / reattempt any qualifier workouts that you feel like you could improve upon. Here is our suggestions for the qualifiers to attack each week:
August 17th & 18th: 23.1 & 23.2
August 25th & 26th: 23.3 & 23.6
September 1st & 2nd: 23.5 & 23.4
Again, it is completely up to you how you spread out these qualifiers – comment below if you are doing Legends!
