THOUGHTS ON THE NORWIEGAN METHOD
THE ENDURANCE CULTURE we are immersed in has many sub-cultures. Some based around personalities, others representing entire countries. It's a little...
... more than sampling Brazilian food in Rio De Janeiro.
And, I love moqueca.
It might even be a good meal the night before...
- grueling morning threshold work
- rest, recover, keyboard cowboy for a bit
- grueling evening threshold work
... a legendary Norwegian Method training day
Or a mandatory 5+ hours in Zone 2.
If you haven't been keeping track, this little ol' country has been crushing...
- cross-country skiing
- speed skating
- triathlon
- track
... everything endurance.
Now, Uno-X is rising up the pro peloton.
Will it work for us?
Maybe,
if we commit.
My own experience?
I've been testing something similar this year...
Monday - short, all out sprints vs weights
Tuesday - low Z2
Wednesday - vicious group ride
Thursday - mid to high Z2
Friday - Z1-Z2
Saturday - either an extra long group road ride, or gravel/mtb, with lots of threshold.
... it seems to be working.
How about you?
