Part 3 8-week training plan for the BFH Club. This follows on from the second plan - if you haven't done that one, start there! This plan will really test you, so make sure you're recovering and sleeping well, and of course eating right. The main differences of this plan are:
-higher intensity
-less volume
-more technique work on the trails
-one upper body only day to give the legs a rest
-testing fitness with the IP test instead of FTP test
Hope you all enjoy it!
