    Comments and Definitions

    This week's focus is the run. Be careful to stretch well after all sessions and warm up and down competely--we don't want any injuries to creep up. Also the 2 intense workouts this week: the run session on Tuesday and the bike session on Friday. If you currently are having any problems with run injuries, eliminate sessions completely or reduce the time of some sessions and reduce efforts of all to RPE 2-3. Next week is a big bike week...this week get any maintenance issues out of the way and also schedule an aero position fitting at your local shop if you have never had one.
