How to do your shock weekend in the RunMotion Coach app?

What is a shock weekend?



When we talk about a shock weekend in a trail training program, it means organizing a weekend or a short period where everything revolves around your training. You will then increase your training load during this period to create a supercompensation effect by the body. All this aims to help you progress.
