Vertical Performance Training

Coach
David Conlon

This is a phase 2 continuation of the level 3 conditioning program. This is an advanced level program.  You should have at least a year or two of training experience and have a resting HR lower than 50 to get the most out of this program.

 Strength training is a part of conditioning so multiple sessions. This is a gym free program but you can absolutely add external loads and do this work in a gym.  It is designed to be quite flexible.


I strongly recommend a heart rate monitor as all of the conditioning work is HR based.  Although not required, it is the best way to get the most out of this program.

Equipment
Recommended
No equipment required // but if you have access to other cardio machines such as Airbikes // Rowers // Treadmills // or Spin Bikes this will allow you to diversify your training and reduce the risk of overuse injuries if your are only running.All strength exercises are bodyweight // but you could easily add dumbells or kettlebells for additional resistance.
