Training volume prescription

Macro to micro planning  ·  in-season to off-season

Periodisation divides the training year into phases, each with its own objective. The macrocycle is the year. Within it, mesocycles of several weeks group training around a single aim: building work capacity, developing speed, or holding condition through a run of fixtures. Microcycles are the individual weeks inside those.

Prescription works downward. The competition calendar sets the phases, the phase sets the weekly objective, and the objective sets the session. For an athlete who is still growing, maturity stage applies a ceiling across all of it.

The ring is one athlete's year. Select a month to see the phase it falls in.

Phase

  • Priority
  • Protected
