Training Program Fundamentals
Every training program has the following fundamentals built in

Progressive Overload
Progressive overload is the principle of gradually increasing training stress so your body keeps adapting and getting stronger. That means a controlled, steady increases in resistance, distance, and intensity, to build endurance and power without hitting a plateau.

Periodized Approach
A periodized approach creates a structure that controls the progressive overload to peak at a specific time for a specific race. Programs will cycle between intensity and volume over time, to develop different energy systems and maximize race specific performance.

Complimentary Strength Programs
Complimentary strength programs will be sold separately so you can set your self up for the most success possible.

About the Author
Why can you trust these plans? After paddling for 25 years, I believe I have learned a thing or too. All of my plans are a passion project because I enjoy the process of creating them. I can promise I don't have a PHD in exercise science, and the price tags will reflect that, so hopefuly you can trust the value.
