Overview
This is a Stress Development week, which means a fairly heavy load in both S&C and definitely Endurance sessions. Depending on where you are in your year dictates how many sessions you should be getting in. If you’re in the middle of a SPECIFIC training cycle leading to a Winter 50k and you’re using this for Cross Training, DO NOT try to fit all of this in, choose 2 sessions. But if you’re in an OFF SEASON phase then, by all means, spend the next 4-6 weeks building some strength and capacity in other realms then running.
