Plan Description

This 8 week training plan is aimed at individuals who want to build their cardiac/aerobic base. Ideally this is for someone who wants to get into running or mountain sports. This plan will allow individuals to establish a consistent training schedule aimed at building overall aerobic output. This plan starts with measuring the athletes intensity thresholds and some basic strength workouts. For the first 4 weeks we will transition into a more aerobic focused second 4 weeks. There is a mix of cardio and strength throughout the programming so this plan will work for almost anyone who just wants to get more fit.

The second half of this program can be repeated for another 4 weeks if desired.
