Otherwise, let’s get right to the programming for Week 8!

Week 8 – The Program

This is the final week of the program, and it is set up just a little bit differently than the previous seven weeks. You will train only three days this week, consisting of a strength/HIIT day, a HIIT circuit or sprint day, and a LISS/Abs day. The training for each day has been adjusted to allow for the hardest training to be done earlier in the week. In addition to this, there has been a slight reduction in overall training stress (volume adjustments are in bold, as always). The combination of these two things should allow you to be in great condition for the race on Saturday!

Important Information

The updates, additions, and/or changes from Week 6 to Week 7 are found in bold. Particulars that are not in bold are the exact same prescription as last week. You will notice that for the strength movements volume has decreased, and for the circuits/conditioning, volume has increased. Since we are getting closer to the challenge, the training will get more specific each week. There are also no new exercises this week.


Happy Training, Folks!
