Introduction to the cycle
This microcycle is characterized by a general increase in training volume and the introduction of various activities. Throughout the week, a wide range of elements will be addressed, including plyometrics, acceleration, bounds, aerobic power, and different types of strength work. We’re returning to a truly comprehensive training week.
It’s important to fully embrace the volume-focused nature of these weeks, leaving pure intensity to just a few specific elements, such as acceleration and the lactic acid work at the weekend.
The main goal is to improve the body’s overall fitness condition in preparation for the first mesocycle change, which will begin in the next week, immediately following this one.
