Cycle Objectives

Fitness

• Increase alactic capacity and endurance (sprint-like stuff under 10 seconds).
• Increase aerobic endurance capacity (long stuff over 30 minutes).
• Increase overall structural strength (more barbell work including some close grip bench work).
• Increase anti-fragility.  Always.

Performance

• Increase speed and speed endurance (ability to do fast stuff for 30-60 seconds over and over).
• Increase explosive power (jump all over the place over and over as well as really far and high).
• Increase aerobic endurance capacity (long stuff over 30 minutes).
• Increase anti-fragility with a focus on knee and ankle resiliency.

From an energy system perspective, both groups will attempt to increase their capacity at opposite ends of the spectrum (short duration power and long duration endurance).  We won't dip our toes into the middle ground too much (except for Fridays during the Open).

Daylight savings time is coming.  Time to get outside!
