#86 - Creative Ways to Structure Aerobic Training

OPEX Fitness Presents: Back Room Talk

You can progress a client through cyclical, time-based MAP intervals forever and get them great results, and mastering the basics first is essential… but as coaches, we love to challenge ourselves to think outside the box with program design!

In this week’s episode of Back Room Talk hosts Carl Hardwick and Georgia Smith discuss creative strategies for structuring aerobic training, so both the coach and the client get to play.
