This in-season programme is designed to support the maintenance of strength, capacity and movement quality throughout the race season. The intensity of key compound lifts will help to preserve the strength improvements made during the Specific Prep phase, whilst a volume-based approach to accessory exercises serves as your injury prevention work. Two full body sessions are prescribed each week, the first providing a strength stimulus and the second focusing on keeping you mobile and robust.

Each session consists of the following structure: 1. Warm-Up (mobility and activation), 2. Upper/lower superset, 3. Upper/lower superset, 4. Core superset or tri-set, 5. Lower body conditioning circuit.

The 12-week block does not include strict deload weeks, and instead provides guidelines on how to fluctuate training volume to fit around your race schedule. This will allow you to make bespoke changes to session design based upon your key races of the season and maintain a consistent approach to S&C throughout. Equipment is required for the main strength session of the week, however session 2 could be performed at home with a small amount of equipment if required.
