Coaching notes

  • Use this twice a week at most. It is a topping, and too much of it eats the recovery your main sessions need.
  • Time it. Anything under 9 minutes means you should add a rung to the ladder next time.
  • Descending ladders are psychologically easier than ascending ones, which is why they get finished.

Questions people ask

How do I scale this?
Sets, reps and rest are written for a intermediate athlete. Scale the load first and the rest second. If the movement falls apart, drop the weight before you add rest.
Where does this fit in a plan?
One session is a session. Sequence it into a week built around your race date and your weakest station on the training plan, or let the generator write one in the same format around your kit and time.
