Start Free TrialFirst DE — you feel good. Second DE — your legs are heavy. By the third, you're making mistakes you'd never make fresh. You're losing to fencers you should be beating because your body quits before your brain does.
That's not a mental problem. That's a gas tank problem. This program builds your aerobic base, trains your anaerobic threshold, and develops the muscular endurance that keeps your legs working deep into elimination rounds.
Phase 1 of a 12-week periodized program. Here's what a typical week looks like — aerobic capacity, anaerobic conditioning, and muscular endurance across three sessions.

Aerobic Conditioning — Norwegian Method
Note: Every exercise in the program has alternative options. No barbell? Use dumbbells or machines. No track for sprints? Use a treadmill or open hallway. No pull-up bar? Swap for lat pulldowns. The program adapts to your equipment — substitutions are built in.
