Single Leg Deadlift This week we did one session of work capacity, where the athlete pushes themselves as close to their max heart rate ( which is 220 minus age, standard deviation of plus or minus 10) for a certain amount of time and having the athletes try and keep their heart rate at a…
This week the workouts included back to back work capacity sessions to help with faster recovery and mental toughness. It has been really rewarding to see all the athletes continue to progress and maintain base fitness.
