This program represents a progression from our Athletes At Home Program. We recommend completing AAH P1 prior to this program as Phase 2 includes increased intensity such as on field speed and conditioning, plyometrics, strength and power.  

It is recommended that athletes have continuous loop bands, and DB's or KB's.  Although this is not a requirement it is recommended.  The program will build an athletes reactive strength and power capabilities in the strength sessions while enhancing their speed and change of direction in the on field sessions. 2 days each week focus on speed work and change of direction drills and athletes will need approximately 50yds to run.  Just as in phase one there are conditioning workouts for "Field Sport Athletes" as well as "Distance Runners" to help improve their energy system performance.  We include recovery stretching after each workout as well as a 5th and final day of yoga to help athletes recover and maintain healthy movement capacity.

Note: You can find your MHRwith the formula 220 - your age. 220 - 18 yrs old = 202 MHR x .7 = 141.4 BPM (70%)

Distance Runners

D

LACTATE THRESHOLD TRAINING - This will help you improve your ability to buffer lactate and perform at higher intensities for longer. 4 x 3min w/1.5 min Rest (Run for 3 min at the highest speed YOU CAN MAINTAIN! Active rest for 1.5 min (no sitting) and then repeat. ⚠ It is important that you are working AT THE HIGHEST SPEED YOU CAN MAINTAIN for the entire 3 minutes of work without going over that threshold. For some of you this will take some experimentation. If you are unsure of what intensity to work at you can start at 80-85% of your MHR. If this is too slow you can always go up. If you go too fast it will take you a long time to recover. Finish your workout with a 7 minute light run at a pace that would allow you to carry on a conversation with someone next to you.
