Training for October 24th thru 30th

Below is Week #2 of training for our three training groups. As you will see, I've just inched up some of the amounts and/or thrown in some different types of training, depending on the group you're in.

My aim is to have you make little gains in fitness on a consistent basis, rather than to over-tax you and leave you fatigued, injured, or burned out.

As always, feel free to ask questions or voice concerns about what we're doing.
