CAPE ARGUS TRAINING PROGRAM

The program is designed for the average 35 - 40 year old, who has a maximum of 9 hours per week available for training.
The minimum program duration is 12 weeks, therefore the program started on Monday 15 December already. We are therefor in week 2 now.
NB! Novices and people who are unfit should consult a physician before embarking on the program.
The club rides are structured to incorporate the program, therefor members shouldn't have to worry about their training if they keep training with the club's outrides.
Program for the following weeks:

Week 2
Total time 7:30
Time in green 6:20 50 - 70%
Time in blue 0:45 70 - 80%
Time in yellow 0:25 80 - 90%
