Week 5
Now that we are 5 weeks into the training year it's time for our first real 'hard' week. We continue to slowly build our total easy distance training hours and recommend some L3 roller skiing intervals. All plans incorporate some technique focused speed work and continue with the base-building general strength plan. (remember to reference the strength plan to increase weight and sets accordingly. If you are looking to make big strength gains this spring now is the time!)
In the Elite and Junior plans we have our first 30 second sprint intensity session of the year. Make sure these session is fast but controlled (not all out). With more intensity on the schedule this week we recommend everyone keeps their easy distance days true L1.
