STRENGTH - "IRON GAME"

At the start of each new training cycle as you prepare for a new goal event you want to begin your program with strength. Start with Phase #1 and progress to Phase #3 (run) or Phase #5 (nordic). Once your strength is at the level it needs to be to handle the training load you can replace the weekly Strength Workouts with Core Workouts and use the Core X program to maintain strength until your goal event is complete.
