PREPARATION 1.6 REPORT (11/02 – 11/08)

HIGHLIGHTS: This week’s workout schedule completes the sixth week of the six-week Preparation Phase. The past two weeks saw an increase from an average of 80 miles/week logged during the first four weeks of the phase to almost 100 miles/week for the fifth and sixth weeks. This phase emphasized endurance and speed. The four-week Base 1 Phase starts next week with an emphasis on maximum strength.

Unfortunately, the 2027 National Senior Games online registration remains offline due to unspecified technical issues. No indication of a reopening date has been posted.
