October! Oktober! Oktobre! No matter how you spell it…this month is going to be completely fabulous! This week we are using the 3 x 2 setup again. That’s three workouts, done twice each…in the week. There’s an optional OFF day you can place anywhere you like. As you know, we generally still recommend some light activity on those days to…
Greetings Amazing Tribe Member! Just when you thought things couldn’t get any better, we get a (relative) deloading week with some fresh stimuli. We are going to be featuring three workouts this week, with each done twice if possible. Workout A and C head out to the field (any that you have available) with the good old FittKitt. B is…
Howdy! This week’s content is out a little early since I’ll be gone for a few days. We always increase workload in the 3rd week of every month. Because we are in Month 1 (of 3) of the Endurance Block, we’ll be increasing workload by primarily adding volume. Endurance is more than just cardiorespiratory fitness. It’s mechanical efficiency, movement and…
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…
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,…
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…
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…
