With so much hard intensity in October it has been a while since our training weeks have had a recovery or volume focus. This week we want to first recover, then return to the type of training that seemed normal to us back in mid summer. We spend the first few days of the week focusing on recovery then add in new strength routines and higher volume.
Our interval recommendation for the week returns to controlled L3 followed by a longer OD on Sunday. For those athletes that are able to ski on snow keep the focus on easy distance training while snow skiing but keep the intervals and specific strength in a cross training mode if possible.

- Keep things light in the gym since it's a recovery week but also because we are starting a new plan.
- If rollerskiing and/or snow skiing conditions are not conducive to specific strength feel free to add in SkiErg training for Tuesday's workout.
- Next week we will start a true volume block with bigger hours. It's important we recover and absorb all the interval training from October before we start November Volume. Adjust training accordingly
