H+P VIRTUAL WEEK – May 17th, 2021

Training:

We’re right in the middle of l’Alpe de Pain and then just around the corner ir FiveBy5K challenge .  Whether you are hitting these events or not, the time to drop the volume and take a semi-break is here from a burnout and injury prevention standpoint.  As always, modify based on your personal needs and where you are with your training!

Cycling Workout from Sayaka:

Looks like rain on Thursday. Here’s a VO2Max grab bag to test your limits. We are starting with longer intervals with a lower intensity (but still hard), and we gradually shorten it up with increasing power. Good luck!

If you are doing the Alpe de Pain, I would decrease the effort to 90% on the 3′ efforts, 100% on the 2′ efforts, and if you want to open those legs up, you can complete the 1′ intervals at 120% to pep things up a bit.
