4 Week Cycle
Our training at the Tridents revolves around a 4 week cycle. Training increases in intensity and duration during weeks 1 to 3, so that our biggest training week is week 3. When in the middle of one of these cycles, by the time week 3 commences you know you’re in for a big week, and you are hanging out for week 4 - Adaptation week as the coach likes to officially term it, but better known around the traps as recovery week. In ‘recovery week’ we get Monday and Wednesday Nights off and volume at the other sessions is reduced.
After last night’s session I am hanging out for Monday and the beginning of recovery week. This is the most I’ve ever wanted recovery week. It also coincides perfectly with a week off in the football before finals begin. Bring on recovery week I need some sleep.
