Week 4 of 12 . Week 4, This week and every 4th week of this training phase we are going a bit left field , a bit of piste some may even say a bit more CF this is to keep your bodies guessing and you minds fresh.

Don’t panic its not a disaster with the right rest and some good nutrition “super compensation” (yes that really is a thing) is a great thing.
