Saturday Swim Session: Alternate T-Times
This session is a great tool to determine your current level of fitness and use as a benchmark for planning of future training sessions. This is an alternate method for determining it, really great if you have limited time for this workout. I use the main version every four to six weeks with my athletes and this version for athletes starting out, or recommencing training after a good break.

Friday Fartlek Run: Less is More 1,200’s I
Although this is a traditional speed session for 5k and 10k runners, there are benefits for those running marathon (as well as half marathon distance as well) as this session came from a marathon training plan. A session like this enhances your VO2 max and makes you a fitter runner ready to handle the higher intensities.

Wednesday Windtrainer Workout: QK WT Class III
Back in 2007 I conducted windtrainer class. I had a fleet of Minoura Mag-800’s and I hired a hall & had a great group of athletes that would join me once a week for a tough session (similar to Spinervals by Coach Troy Jacobson except I also rode with my athletes and sweated up a storm along side them). I’ve recently been tidying up some old boxes in the garage and found my old lesson plans and the music to go along side them. This was the third session I took. Although primarily designed for triathletes this session is great for anyone wanting to boost their FTP (yes, I was training with power back then with the old Polar WIND power meter temperamental as it was).
