Periodization

Simply put, how can a program be designed to maximize peak fitness for race day.

Periodization is a predetermined course of action used to guide your training through the course of a season.

Periodization programs are customized based on ability and available time. Your personal goals and real world schedules will be considered before a long-term plan is designed.

All formulas for improvement will include frequency( the number of workouts per week), intensity( the amount of pace/stress you allow), and time( increasing the duration of your training. How can you combine these principles into a weekly schedule. And above all when to apply REST for recovery. follow-up with additional bouts of intensity.

Micro-cycles will define weekly schedules, meso-cycles will connect weekly workouts and the macro-cycle can be describes as the culmination of your training season. Macro-cycles may also describe periods of peak performance prior to race day.
