Optional Additional Conditioning Session
Some of you may feel like your aerobic base needs to improve. If that is you then I highly recommend following the optional session on Thursday. If you feel like your aerobic base is dialed in then feel free to skip this optional work and instead spend the extra time focusing on mobility and food prep for the remainder of the week.
