Greetings Tribe Member! I bet you are feeling FAST! More quick stuff this week. We’ll be keeping a few elements consistent and then also jamming on new kicks. Let me know how you’ve liked using some of the video programs in the content. We are dipping into some shorter sprint work at higher velocity this week. Then we’ll advance it…
Wow! I can’t believe another month is upon us (or at least that it starts on Tuesday). This is the final month of the Speed Block, and we’ll be doing a number of zippity things. One of the key considerations this month is to check your recovery from time to time. You want to be feeling mostly rested and fresh,…
Oh my…it’s the final full week in July! Speed Block month 1 is coming to a close with some unique changeups. We usually do a fairly significant deloading phase in the final week of each month. This one’s only going to be moderate because we have some fun sessions to explore. There are 5 workouts to get done this week.…
Hi there you oh so speedy Training Tribester! I know you are getting faster. I see it in the local peeps. I hear about it from some of you across the country. You are applying the science, and the fun, and getting results. Nobody said this stuff was really easy. We had to put in a lot of preparatory work.…
You are AWESOME! And you’re fast! But you’re only gonna get faster in the Speed Block. This is week 2. We are continuing with the intelligent application of explosive movement, particularly in Workout A and D. These are our field and track workouts, respectively. The “filler” sessions include our big fun cardio-emphasizing Trail Hustle and Picnic workout (done once in…
It’s here at last…or yet again! My favorite training block of the year, the Speed Block! While I love all the blocks we use in our Annual Training Plan, this one has so much magic. It’s summer. We’re outside for many workouts. We’ve come off the Power Block and now our bodies are ready to do some true speed training.…
Greetings Amazing Tribester! Congratulations on reaching the final week of the Power Block! We’ve done some outstanding work and now it’s time for a little deloading before we transition into the Speed Block. This week has some familiar and some new content, all designed to help you consolidate your excellent gains. We are still hitting our popular summer outdoor sessions,…
Hello Amazing T2 member! Welcome to Week 3 of the 2nd and final month of our Power Block. Everyone has been crushing it and I commend you on your excellent effort and progress. This week we intensify a bit but also keep a few things the same and mellow to offset the mojo. The outdoor workouts are our jam during…
Loving this Power Block! The workouts are equal parts hard and fun. It’s so exhilarating to get outside and push ourselves. I love the gym, but I needed the outdoor summer mojo. Things are getting more zesty as we start to hammer field workouts, track workouts, and hikes. Our maintenance/recovery work in the gym is totally elastic this week. Three…
Howdy, y’all! June is here and that means several things. We are heading into our second and final month of the Power Block. And, the outdoor season kicks off nationwide! I’ll provide a little more information about both of the those points below. The Power Block is awesome. Power is a specific entity in the Lifetime Athlete (you). But it…
Happy Memorial Day Weekend! This is a holiday week and weekend, and we’ll be having a unique exposure to training. There are some bonus activities and it’s a chance for everyone to transition smoothly into summer mode. Here are the highlights! We’re running the Memorial Day Mile on Monday the 29th. Everyone nationwide can do this and the data is…
Greetings Great One! I never cease to be amazed how quickly time flies. I guess that means we are having fun. I’ve also heard that if you want to get something done, give that project to the busiest person in town. Regardless, here we are at the final week or so of the month. There is a deloading opportunity combined…
It is time, Simba! Time to Kick Ass, take what’s yours, take no prisoners, and be a champion! Strong words indeed, and oh so true. We piled on the training volume last week. Now this week we test it. We’re going to be looking at a test workout, done twice in the week, with recovery filler in between. It’s spicy.…
Time to get powerful! We’re moving into this second week of month 1 of the Power Block. I’ve been getting great feedback from our community. Everyone is loving the new training sessions and the chance to get outside for a few workouts every week. Local peeps have been hitting some atmospheric re-entry track sessions on Sundays at 1pm. Soon we…
Oh, man, am I ever excited to lead us into this first week of the first month of the Power Block! We are finally getting some nice weather and I for one was also ready to change things up after all that resistance training from the last block. A good primer for this week is to briefly define and discuss…
The finale of the Strength Block is upon us! Congratulations on making it to this point and great job on all your training. We are now on the road to a deload. There are a couple of relatively easy sessions to allow full recovery before we push into the Power Block. As a preview, the month of May will feature…
It’s been a long, and strong, STRENGTH TRAINING BLOCK! We’ve used resistance training to enhance strength, hypertrophy, and even muscular endurance. I commend you on working so hard. And it has been that. But we’ve built some really good properties which will allow us to move into the Power Block with ease. This week has some changeups as I’ve promised.…
And another week is upon us! And what a glorious one it shall be! Spring! Easter! Full Body Split! Maybe not necessarily in that order! The key now is to stay strong, to stay the course. Seasons are changing and we just need to squeak out a little bit more intense gym work to prepare us for the outdoor season.…
A new month! A new training split. Oh yea! We’ve been cruising along in the Strength (and hypertrophy) Block. This final month in the block is one of my favorite splits. It’s a full body (FB) routine which has 3 different resistance workouts each week, interspersed with general conditioning (GC) days that work on various aspects of fitness and athleticism.…
Greetings amazing Tribester! It’s time for a bonus week! We are going to emphasize true recovery this week. I want to encourage you to explore how easy you can go, for the most part. We’ve been hammering hard and I’ve been getting some reports from the community of sore muscles, bones, and tendons, as well as folks feeling tired and…
