Every movement, in order
Each lift with its working sets and target, in the order you run them. The coach sets the loads from your training and moves them up as the work gets easier.
| Order | Exercise | Sets | Target | Rest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Trail Running Walking 10 min easy build, then 3 × 5 min at the week's prescribed effort with 2 min easy jogging between, then 5 min easy. The week's instruction says whether to run the blocks continuously, as repeats, or at goal pace. Treadmill substitutes at matched duration and effort. 1 warm-up set first 4 × 5:00 · rest 0s–2 min | 4 | 5:00 | 0s–2 min |
| 02 | Dead Bug Post-run trunk work, unhurried. Ribs down, low back flat, slow opposite arm and leg. Stop when the back lifts off the floor. 2 × 10 · rest 45s | 2 | 10 | 45s |
The coach sets the loads and moves them up — these are the schemes
When to reach for this template
Effort anchors: RPE 4-5 you speak in full sentences, RPE 6 in short ones, RPE 7-7.5 in a few words, RPE 8 in single words. Build and finish are part of the session. Treadmill Run or Treadmill Jog substitute at matched duration and effort — one percent incline, ignore the pace display. This session must never fall within twenty-four hours after the max-strength pull; move it later in the week, do not shorten it. If a block drifts two RPE above target, end it and jog the rest easy.
