This program is designed to help you peak for a PR-setting 5k race. the programming is built into three 4-week progressive phase. We use the Jack Daniel's VDOT pacing calculator to allow us to program intensity/pacing at an individualized level! This program will systematically progress mileage and pacing, with a final taper into a race week. You will also get a single lifting day with the bare minimum cross training to stay healthy and strong!

D
Cool Down
The goal of our cool down is to let our heart/circulatory system recovery (we want our heart rate to drop below 100 bpm before finishing the training session) Additionally, we want to take advantage of our literally warm body to work on mobility. Part 1 = Complete 3-5 minutes of static stretching. Work on any muscles that feel tight and on the primary muscle groups we trained in this session. See the attached video for a suggested static stretching flow! Part 2 = Box breathing while laying supine. Complete 2-3 minutes of diaphragmatic breaths (4 sec in, 4 sec hold, 4 sec out, 4 sec hold). See the attached video for explanation!
