II. Last Phase of Training from a Non-Scientific View Point:
Phase 4: Hittin it!!!
This is it!! Time to ramp everything up, this tends to be when competition is approaching, the length of this phase depends on the event and the person, it can be as little as 2-3 weeks and as long as needed to get the desired result… Priorities are clear, but understood, as well as critical to the success of the athlete. The priorities dictate the theme of training and it’s frequency. How to organize this is based on the individual and the event, but the hit home point is that everything in this phase is accounted for, training, recovery, diet, lifestyle, sleep, game day preparation, psychological factors, everything!!! You name it, the coach and the athlete have discussed prior, leaving nothing unsaid, or unprepared for. The more frequently you compete, the more clear all the details become, the more the little nuances make the difference. Many times you can see an elite athlete compete, do well or poorly, and they can tell you the exact reason as to the outcome…”3 nights ago I had a bad sleep, it messed up my routine and threw everything off…” The rule for this one is: “Follow the plan!!!”
III. “Sunday Workouts of the Day”:
A. Front Squats, 8 sets of 2 @ 225 lbs/135 lbs, rest 60 seconds between sets

Post Feelings to Comments.
Trail running at Borderland was awesome, everyone has got to get in the groove for this every Sunday! Very enjoyable except for the fact I am not as fast as the rest….but run with fast people you get fast. As for the 10:00 workout….that really put me in sleep/eat mode for the afternoon. Loved every minute of it. Great training with you Nicole!!!!!!!! You kicked ass on the prowler!
Thanks, Elaine! Awesome training w you as well! Your bottoms up kbs were great and improving each round–there will be no “no reps” at the games for you! And as for the prowler, I probably wouldn’t have done the heavier weight if you hadn’t told me to so thanks lol.
