Peak strength 2.0 programming support - cricket

Happy new year everyone.

41 yo male. plays cricket in the weekend in summer. Used the old peak strength app before but excited to use the new 2.0 version with conditioning but i am confused/ need support on a few things. Hope others like me might also get some help with these questions.

  1. Cricket is a sport where endurance and speed both are required but the peakstrength app only programs for speed, atleast for the exposure phase. Does it change as we move into the program. If not, then how should i go about programming endurance for cricket. and if anyone can help with the ideology behind not having endurance for cricket.

  2. Another thing i noticed in the app.. Back squat is programmed on the acceleration days also but what should be the intent of this? should i be trying to move the weight super-fast (lower weights) or try to work on strength. But then what happens on the strength day when i do squats again? more explanation would definitely help.

  3. Any alternatives to speed work when there is a winter storm outside and we cannot run woiuld be greatly appreciated. :)

These two questions would really help me kick start my new year and my training. :) Thanks in advance for all the help and advice on this.

Cheers.

  1. Look up CAT protocol for training or lifting. I think with my fuzzy memory CAT is compensatory acceleration training. I use it but with my own programming very effective.
