From the Coach:

In the previous period, your body has learned how to move at high intensity. Tests or competitions will have provided feedback and sent important signals. This week there will be room to refine all the details from previous races and tests.

Before planning the week’s training sessions, check your competition calendar. Read carefully the recommendations and training objectives.
