Readiness peak Nov 15
Shoe PUMA Velocity Nitro 4
Two engines, one plan: an aerobic engine for the seven 700 m runs and the row,
and a strength-endurance engine for the loaded stations. You peak on Nov 15, three weeks
before race day, so you arrive sharp and rested — not cooked. Tap a box to tick a session; your progress saves automatically.

- Finisher cut-offunder 90 min
Rules of the build
- Wall ball substitute: no target at your gym, so use the DB/KB thruster (squat → drive weight overhead), 6–8 kg.
- Box jumps: start with step-ups on a low box, raise height slowly. At 90 kg your tendons need the ramp.
- Runs: add no more than ~10% volume a week. Easy pace on easy days.
- Recover: adaptation happens between hard days. Sleep 7–9 h, eat enough real food, hydrate.
- Break in the shoes on sleds and runs well before Nov 15.

Nov 16 → Dec 5 · The three-week bridge
Readiness peak reached — now stay sharp without digging a hole. Keep two quality sessions a week
(one run-interval, one station circuit) plus easy rowing or walking. Taper the final 5–7 days: lighter,
fresher, no new max efforts. Arrive on Dec 5 rested and confident.
