Week 31

This week is designed to offer some much needed recovery early in the week before focusing on some high intensity efforts. Both the elite and junior plan recommend a 10km time trial. Practice races are some of the best ways we can build aerobic capacity while practicing our race day routines. Check out the new Race Day Evaluation post for tips on how to mentally prepare for races. The master's plan also builds in recovery early in the week and recommends some L3/L4 combo intervals. While we don't combine L3 and L4 intensity into the same session often, this time of year we do use sessions like this to build aerobic capacity and to teach our bodies to transition between metabolic systems. This will be our last week of power strength with new plans coming next week!
