This plan is designed for the athlete with some cardiovascular and work capacity base and is designed to be used to build a well-rounded and bulletproof base of fitness, or for use 12 weeks out from a more detailed train-up for a selection or school. This can be easily modified by adding more base building weeks (beginning of the program), or taking out the first four weeks if you’re in a time crunch.
This plan is targeted at making you faster and stronger and able to move further, quicker under load. Due to the higher volume we will not be rucking during this program, but the gym portions will prepare you to begin a follow-up program with more movement under load.
