Week 29
As we reach the end of our season preparation period (first 32 weeks of the training year) it's a great time to revisit some of our physical tests. This week we recommend a double pole test, an uphill run test, and a strength test. These tests are a great way to measure fitness and specific strength improvement while also providing quality max-effort sessions. A perfect way to cap off our intensity period. (see below for substitution recommendations).
