Summary
The quick start is the kick-off of the training season. Why quick? Because it is just 4 weeks long and also because most of the sessions are "quick" in nature - rather short sessions which focus on high intensity, max speed and max strength intervals. The objective is to fire your fast twitch muscles, build your power, agility, explosiveness and coordination. We work on the "frame" for the training, while keeping the endurance engines running low. So small details in each training matter more than ever - please do observe the intensity levels, duration and recovery breaks of each drill and each interval. Have fun!
