There’s no right or wrong answer the program is designed in a way that you can pick and choose based on needs and schedule. Sessions shouldn’t last more than 60-90 minutes and there is also a lot of benefit to seperatingbyour work to keep intensity and get the most out of it. We also offer Athlete+ where a Coach will do all of this for you and select the components that best suit you along with brides review and support. If that’s something you’re interested in email info@invictusathlete.com

Run endurance – on Air Runner- suggestions on what you focus on to gauge pacing? Today I was looking mostly at watts… it seems like it takes so long for the runner to process your rate changes, so it’s hard to gauge.
