Imeh and I have experience crafting several HS Leaders and also working with athletes competing at a national and international level. We created this to allow more athletes to have access to quality training and to remove a lot of guesswork from the equation when it comes to how to train, how much to train, how to prepare for a race, etc.

This plan is for any NICA Freshman athlete looking to make the best of their season with workouts tailored to the races and to the individual athlete. This is also a useful tool for NICA coaches to have everyone follow a structured plan and to know you don't have to do research to coach the athletes.

This plan makes it as easy as looking at the calendar and completing the workout. No guesswork, no doubts. You know you will be working effectively to increase your fitness through targeted, precise workouts and also recovering enough for peak race-day performance.

This specific block focuses on the weaknesses and really sets the tone as we get ready for race season. The building blocks start to transition out to Threshold workouts as well as progressively increasing endurance so make sure you can last for a race that is 40-60 minutes. The plan ramps up in hours and get you used to having more time at threshold as well as repeating efforts with less fatigue.

HAVING A HEART RATE MONITOR WOULD HELP; HOWEVER, IT IS NOT NECESSARY. You can absolutely complete the plan working by perceived exertion.
