Comprehensive Training Plan Overview

Phase 1: Sweet Spot and Steady-State Workouts (Weeks 1-4)
Kickstart your journey with four weeks of sweet spot and steady-state training. These sessions are crucial for building a robust aerobic foundation, enhancing muscular endurance, and extending your time to exertion at moderate to high intensities.
Phase 2: Over-Under / Threshold Workouts (Weeks 5-8)
Push your limits in the final four weeks with over-under workouts designed to improve lactate clearance and performance at threshold.
