Howdy! This week we are accumulating some volume in the Endurance Block. We started the month with a very basic approach in order to set that stage. Now we are going to increase workload primarily from a workout duration perspective. Perhaps more so than any other athletic capacity, endurance is naturally very time-dependent. In light of this, if you need…
Happy Labor Day Weekend! It’s the end of summer. The beginning (at least in some ways) of fall. And WE are starting into our 3-month Endurance Block. You’ve done an outstanding job working on strength, power, speed, and agility throughout the year so far. We’ll keep those capacities alive in your beast as we now really develop superior endurance. Endurance…
What an exciting time this is! We are finishing up with the summer season and the Speed Block. We’re preparing to transition into the Endurance Block. This week gives you the opportunity to finish out fast, emphasize deloading and recovery, or get a head start on endurance training. I’ll explain the options below. Let’s say you wanna work on speed…
The final week of the Speed Block. The final week of August. Maybe not the final week of summer but it’s getting close. We are going to take this out in style. The workouts this week have some very interesting features that I think you will enjoy. You can always mix up the days as you need to best fit…
It’s week 3 of the month and time for some intensification. We are going to be featuring two speed-based options this week, which will be quite delightful (in my humble and honest opinion). I’d like you to look at every workout this week as optional, simply choosing the ones you like best and putting your week together as you see…
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…
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,…
The Summer Solstice is upon us and summer is officially kicking off. I’m hoping you’ve been doing lots of fun things and have many more planned. Seize the season! I’m sharing a brief video which depicts one of the many awesome things we are doing in the Training Tribe, again this year. We train for LIFE! And we live it.…
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…
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.…
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.…
