This low-volume plan incorporates plenty of rest with a variety of workouts to keep your training focused but relaxed and flexible. No race plans on the calendar? Winter and not sure what to do? Want to keep consistent, build strength and power but also interested in cross training?
With no specific event goal, these workouts are time and effort based, so don't worry about pace, speed or mileage. The intent is to build power and efficiency so that when there is a trail race, or self-guided mountain adventure, on the calendar you can start specific training feeling well equipped.
