  PEAK 1
  14-51. The peak period covers the two to three weeks immediately prior to an event such as a deployment
  or high physical demand mission (see table 14-16). Soldiers cannot sustain training efforts in this period
  beyond three weeks without leading to overtraining. Typically, a period of tapering off from the volume of
  training for one to two weeks is included at the end of the peak period. The week of taper in this schedule
  reduces training volume by 50 percent. Tapering for a short period allows accumulated fatigue to dissipate
  without risking physical fitness.
  14-52. For those Soldiers who have periodized their training over the previous months and who wish to
  perform well on the ACFT, they would follow the peak 1 schedule with 1–2 days of rest before taking a
  record ACFT. Depending upon the previous level of training, a typical week for a Soldier peaking for a
  deployment or another high physical demand assignment might include the following:
  * 5 days of training per week.
  * 1 session per day of 60-90 minutes.
  * 1 long event-specific session per week of several hours replicating event load, terrain, climate,
  equipment or uniform, nutrition or hydration, and tasks.
  * Alternating hybrid days.
  * Recovery sessions that include PMCS.
  * AWST skill.
  * 3 free weight sessions per week.
  * A high RPE range with some maximum effort (RPE 9-10).
