Week 9
This week is the first of several mid summer volume weeks! Now that we have built up our efficiency in all training modes it's time to push the hours a bit. For reference next week will be an easy week before we start our next 4 week training block.
A typical summer volume week should consist of mostly L1 and easy distance training as well as higher volume during L3 intensity. This week we incorporate some long 5k threshold repeats into all the plans. We target speed training early in the week when our bodies are fresh and integrate more double sessions to increase our training volume load. Volume weeks are a great time to tack on a few extra hours or go longer than normal in an over-distance workout if you are feeling good.
