All right, everyone.

Thanks for tuning into this episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast with

Zach Bitter.

Welcome back to another episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast.

This is episode three of a four-part series where I am breaking down the scaffolding of my

training cycle and the nutritional inputs that I typically

target within that training cycle.

So part three is an exciting one.

It is the speedwork development phase of my training.

I like this one because this is probably the most variety that I likely will have in terms of the targets or the inputs

from a training standpoint. It's a lot more polarizing than some of the other training I do because

when you're doing speed work, you're starting to push up towards that faster end of the speed,

the intensity spectrum, which means you've got to balance that out so there's a

little bit more polarization there's a little bit more variance from one day to the next and it's just

a fun break in the action that i typically have uh between my base building phase which is the last

episode and my ultramarathon long run development phase, which usually ends the buildup for a goal

race that I'm doing when I'm targeting something similar to like 100 mile distance ultramarathon.

So a speedwork development phase is fairly self-explanatory in the sense that it is going to be

a pivot from the main focus for me being on just optimizing and preparing

my base and foundation like I was in the base building phase of the training cycle to now my

main focus or my targets during the week tend to be focused more on speed work. So things in the

moderate to higher intensity side of things. And I'm looking to improve
