The key word is brilliance: “Despite the external difficulties, the last double training session was also characterized by clarity.” Giorgio Rondelli summarizes Thursday’s work Alex Schwazer to the Big Brother and begins his analysis with a photograph that conveys the situation of the moment: “The athlete proceeds with reduced loads compared to previous weeks, to maintain the current state of form without improving it. The competitive return could move beyond a few months.”

morning

The day starts as usual on Tapis Roulant: “Alex starts with 25′ at 4’50”-5’10” per km (122 pulses) and continues with 40′ of fartlek, with 30 fast variations of 20″ from 3’20” to 3’05” per km and 1′ of slow walking as recovery (heart rate between 138 and 155 beats per minute)”. To close the morning, 5′ cool-down.

afternoon

The afternoon work shifts to the elliptical: “Here it begins with 25′ at 130 pulses and continues with a quarter of an hour at 150-160 pulses. The most relevant phase concerns the maximum quarter of an hour with heart rate between 170 and 175 beats per minute“. At the end of the day, another 10′ at 150-160 pulse and 15′ of anti-fatigue walking on the treadmill.

considerations

Coach Rondelli analyzes the double session touching on the central aspects: “Alex trained for 2 hours and 30 minutes, with approximately 17 km of walking and 65′ on the elliptical. The two blocks of very high intensity work should be highlighted in red. The fartlek morning session of 40′, in which he managed to pace up to 3’05” per km, and the maximum work in the afternoon, in which he reached 170-175 pulses on the elliptical. All with excellent sensations of freshness muscular”.
