Dear Athlete,

These are not our words, but those of two independent experts who investigated our extraordinary Super Sets training program. Below are three questions to see if Super Sets can work for you. Your answers could set you on the road to becoming phenomenally faster, as strong as an ox and as fast as a cheetah.

Are you tired of doing the same workouts week after week? Are you moving through your usual menu of training sessions with less-than-optimal enthusiasm? Has your performance reached a plateau?

If the answer to any of the above questions is yes, it's time for you to learn more about Super Sets...

"Super Sets create a maximal stimulus for fitness advancement, which will make you as strong as an ox and as fast as a cheetah. When you carry out Super Sets, you are red-lining your training and challenging your boundaries. Very few other forms of training can test your limits as much as Super Set training."

This is a quotation from a recent report on the Super Sets training program published by the Peak Performance newsletter. The full program is now available for you to try out now.

Use these sizzling Super Sets for a dramatic effect

Super Sets will increase your enthusiasm for training while simultaneously heightening specific aspects of your fitness. At first, you'll look forward to carrying out the Super Sets because they are so challenging - and so different from what you usually do. In the long run, you'll want to use super-set sessions with regularity because of the way they help you run, cycle, or swim etc longer and faster.

What are Super Sets? If you lift weights or go to a gym at which athletes are serious about strength training, you may be familiar with the term: A Super Set is a series of intervals or exercises which are carried out without any recovery and with decreasing intensity.

Why do we believe that Super Sets can be such a valuable training tool for endurance athletes? First, both authors of this report have noticed they could run sprints at almost maximal intensity - and then recover enough in just 10 seconds or so to run another sprint. From this, they realised that it was possible to group together a large number of high-quality exercise segments without including a large quantity of recovery time.

The authors of this report have been intrigued and impressed by strength athletes' utilisation of Super Sets in their training. For example, a strength athlete performing a super set of bench presses would start by pressing an extremely heavy weight. When they reach the point of failure, two assistants strip off just enough weight from the barbell so that they can continue pressing.

When the athlete becomes exhausted again, the helpers take more weight away - just enough so that the athlete can keep working. This pattern - muscular failure, reduced resistance, renewed pressing, muscular failure, etc. continues until the only thing left in the athlete's hands is the bar.

Why Super Sets Work

The basic principle underlying the super set is to keep working at one's relative maximal intensity for a prolonged period of time. By challenging the muscles to work as hard as they possibly can for an extended period of time, a maximal stimulus for improvement in strength is created.

To do the same thing in a running, cycling, or swimming workout, you perform hard intervals in a continuous manner. This makes Super Sets the most specific form of interval training for racing.

Why Super Sets are Different and Effective

Here is a summary of how a Super Set is different from other forms of training.

To carry out a Super Set you deliberately reduce your speed over the course of the set. This is quite unlike what you usually do. If you are like most endurance athletes, you try to maintain a specific pace during each interval within your set or overall workout, although you might try to crank out an especially fast interval at the end of the set or session.

The most important thing about this kind of training is not whether you complete each and every interval in a predicted time - but whether you are fairly consistently moving in the right direction with your training. Don't get too worried if there is variation in your workout quality, including the quality of your Super Sets: it is natural that this happens.

Advanced Super Sets

Once you have seen how a beginning Super Set workout proceeds, you are ready to move on to a more advanced super-set workout. This advanced workout is designed for you to use later in your season or competitive year. If you're a runner for example, you would open up the session with a thorough warm-up and then a very fast 200 - perhaps just two to three seconds slower than your best-possible pace over 200 metres.

The acquisition of fitness is so rapid when you carry out these workouts that pegging your running to a particular race pace during a specific interval may be too confining - you may be able to run considerably faster than race pace without overtraining or getting injured.

An Astonishing Array of Benefits

The fitness benefits accruing from Super Set workouts are astonishing. The initial 200 and 400 (or corresponding distances for swimmers and cyclists) generate a substantive amount of lactate, which is excellent for lactate-threshold improvement. It augments lactate clearance, which is one of the two cornerstones of your actual lactate-threshold running speed.

But that's not all! Super Sets also enhance your efficiency at race-type paces. For each 1-per cent improvement in your economy of movement, your race performances will improve by 0.5 to 1 per cent.

The super-fast intervals at the beginning of a super set make the high-quality race paces toward the end of the set feel like jogging. You will learn to 'float' relatively effortlessly at faster and faster speeds.

And instead of saying to yourself "Oh no - not another 1600 at 5-K pace" as you would during a traditional interval session, you will be thinking "Man, this 1600 feels easy today". Trust me - it works.

And the real big win: Going into an important race with a memory that race pace feels 100% comfortable and easy to control boosts your confidence immeasurably!

Improving Speed and Pace

Super Sets can be precursors to faster overall interval training. For example, as your fitness improves, you can increase the lengths of the first intervals within your Super Set without changing the pace at which you run them. As this lengthening continues, you will eventually be able to run a large chunk of the super set at the pace you originally were forced to confine to the first interval or two.

If done correctly, a Super Set workout should provide the maximum stimulus to improve. With traditional intervals, you are always holding back and pacing yourself, but with Super Sets it is more of the 'Just hold on baby' mentality, especially about midway through a set. The potential gains in running capacity and mental toughness and confidence are great.

Remember that your mission is to run, cycle, or swim as fast as possible for as long as possible. Super Sets help you do that like no other training session. It is only by creating stiff challenges for yourself that you will reach your highest-possible level of performance.

Case Study: Soaring from a 24 PB to a 17.2 PB

When one of the authors of this report was a youngster in seventh grade, he consistently challenged himself. He would try to run with the state champion, who happened to be on the school team, even though their ability levels were almost worlds apart.

In seventh grade, his PB for three miles was only 24:00. By the time he was a freshman in high school he was running 17:20. If he had followed a traditional system and run prescribed current race paces for all his workouts, there is no way he could have achieved this quantum leap in performance.

The mind, spirit, courage and willingness to take on challenges must be cultivated and protected.

If you want to soar to new heights, you need to utilise a training program that requires soaring.

Super Sets are a key part of this training and the program is now available...
