The peak block
Weeks 22 to 26 finish the program with the longest sessions in the guide: a 9.25-mile run and a 3500-yard swim in the final week, and continuous high-intensity blocks of two by twenty minutes. Core work reaches its final tier. The last week is a good time to schedule the PST you will actually report, with two or three easy days before it.
