Week 19
Although week 19 is an easy week it's an important stepping stone for the rest of our preparation period. Taking a structured easy week before we dive into the higher intensity training of September and October is crucial to our long-term aerobic development. We want to be conservative this week (two off days if necessary) to allow our bodies time to recover from the last 4 weeks of higher volume training so we can fully absorb the September interval sessions.
This week we continue our 3rd week of a 4-week velocity strength program. Enjoy some easy distance running and biking along with one threshold double pole session. (See L3 with fast finishes) . Take advantage of the skate speed day to work on V1 timing and coordination. (see Team Norway V1 video)
