June 4, 2020 – Masters Program

Every athlete needs to assess how they are feeling today. Assess how your body has responded to Monday-Wednesdays sessions and either do the following:

1 – Take a full rest day. If this is the option you choose, then you are not allowed to feel guilty for not going into the gym. Resting is crucial to advancement in your training so if you choose to rest then have no regrets!
2 – Mobilize. Use your regular training time to mobilize. Find your problem areas and spend some time focusing on those areas. Move through these stretches in the morning or after your training piece.
3 – Active Recovery. This could be swimming, doing a trail run, a low intensity row session or spending time on low impact movements. Whatever activity you choose to do should be a restorative activity and not deplete you for the remaining week of training.

Coaches Note:
The intention of today’s session is to feel the burn! The movement pairings are set up to push your muscle stamina, and then provide a bit of a break on those muscle groups before coming back to them for another 90 second set. Don’t give in on these time frames…try to stick with it through the entire interval knowing that you’ll get a rest while focusing on other muscle groups.
