Schedule & Workout Logs
This is the second phase of preseason work. The main goals are strength and power endurance. We are going to accomplish these goals primarily using circuit training. You'll do a power circuit twice per week and a strength circuit once per week. Workouts will be very short but very intense.
The SAQ work will be done before the conditioning workouts this week. This is mostly for maintenance and don't expect to see big gains in speed this phase.
General Principles
- Learn to pay attention to how your body is feeling each day. If you start feeling run down by the end of each week, you may not be getting enough recovery. It is okay NOT to do all of the workouts provided. Sometimes less is more.
If you feel nauseated or dizzy, increase the rest periods. Making yourself vomit will not help the speed of your adaptation.
For this phase we have a split in training, depending on what surface your season is focussed on…
- If GRASS –> use the standard Conditioning & SAQs
- If BEACH –> use the Beach Conditioning & SAQs
Core circuits can be done 3-6 days per week. Alternate between circuit 1 and circuit 2.
Conditioning can be done 6 days per week but only if you keep the volume low enough to recover between sessions. *If you want to do conditioning on the same day as the circuit training, separate the workouts by a few hours*. This will allow you to do more work and still recover.
