- Need to address L/R leg imbalance / functional strength.
- Need to build up endurance for third time this season (!!)
Defined Recovered:
- Reduced knee swelling
- Reduced / non-existent knee pain
- Normal sleep patterns in place
- 14 workouts in 14 days (no doubles) at aerobic pace to get loose and facilitate recovery.
- Target recovery end date JUNE 30th
Break Up the Year, Set Intermediate Goals
