This week is our Masters Qualifiers training week! You’ll notice that the volume for Monday-Thursday is lighter as we want your body to feel fresh for the Qualifiers. Ideally, you’ll be chomping at the bit to attack the events come Friday. Strategy notes, as well as a suggested sequence of events list, will be posted late Thursday night. You’ll notice this week that the mobility section has some longer videos that we’d like you to watch and incorporate into your day since the training volume will be a little less. Everyone will follow the same training sessions this week, enjoy! If you have any specific questions then please email nichole@invictusathlete.com
