2. 📏 Mastering Speed Work
- Maintain speed work between 8 and 1.1 meters per second for optimal performance.
- On lighter days with 30% intensity, maintain speeds between 1.0 and 1.1 meters per second to ensure efficiency.
- For intensity levels of 35-37%, aim for speeds between 0.9 and 1.0 meters per second.
- At 40% intensity, target speeds above 0.75 meters per second to maintain effectiveness.
- Transitioning between these intensities with precise speed adjustments can enhance training outcomes.
