Week 5

This week we want to make sure our bodies are absorbing the new training year so we reduce total training volume and recommend two off days across all plans. Planning recovery weeks during the summer is an example of Periodization, See Mesocyles And Periodization to learn more about how we build training cycles. Want to improve your running efficiency this summer? We post a new video on uphill running tips for skiers and recommend hiking or running intervals this week. Dr. Sarah Willis explains how our bodies adapt to interval training plus we look into how long it actually takes our bodies to get fitter and stronger.
