This week will look a bit different than a typical week. It’s an opportunity for you to reset after our last cycle. Then on August 15th, we will start our off-season cycle. If you are interested in knowing why we program transition weeks this check out this article HERE.

Running Session
Three sets of:
1200 Meter Run
Rest 2-3 minutes
Athlete Notes:
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. Move through these stretches in the morning or after your training piece:
3 – Active Recovery. This could be swimming, doing a trail run, a low-intensity row session, or spending time on low-impact movements. Whatever activity you choose to do should be a restorative activity and not deplete you for the remaining week of training.
