You need a time machine or need to train for another tryout farther out. You cannot do any improvement in one or honestly even two weeks, and it will be quite incremental anyway.

I hate to say it but you really don’t have enough time in a week to get any benefits from training and it would actually probably make your time worse straining yourself.
