Week 18
After some lower hours and a TT, week 18 is a pretty challenging medium week. Following a ski specific TT last weekend we recommend some ski walking or bounding L3 early on in the week with some L4 Vo2max intervals on the weekend. This will be our last week on the Power strength plan so adaptations in the gym should already be happening.
This is the time of year when athletes need to begin to make more individual adjustments to their weekly plans. For example, if you did not feel great in the TT last week this is a perfect opportunity to chisel out some hours and reduce the L3 onetime early in the week. Our goal needs to be to feel good, then train hard. Not train hard in order to feel good:)
NOTES:
- Spice things up with some reaction speeds. If you are going to do this workout solo, no problem. It's a good opportunity to work on some rolling speeds in varying terrain.
- If athletes are feeling tired from the TT or did not feel well in the TT last weekend feel free to cut out the speed session all together and just do easy distance.
