Is my program set up

for THIS athlete’s

success?

PERIODIZ ATION• Training unit. The smallest division of the training program usually representing similar training activities – warmup, technical drills, speed

and power, strength and endurance, cool-down.

• The session. A single training session of a similar theme.

• Microcycle typically consists of 7-days of cycled training sessions of rest, high loading and reduced loading.

• Mesocycle is a 4 week segment of training, although it may be extended to 6 weeks depending upon the athlete's training age.

• Macrocycle is a block of training divided into three phases – preparatory, competitive and transition phase.

• The phase is a segment of a macrocycle with a gross theme. There are typically 3 phases – a preparatory phase, a competitive phase and

a transition phase.

• The period is sometimes used in preference to 'sub-phase'. In most macrocycles the preparation phase has two periods (sub-phases) – a

general preparation period and a specific preparation period. The competition phase has two periods or sub-phases – pre-competition and

main competition. The pre-competition period consists of the those competitions that are not very

important while the main competition period consists of the most important competitions.

• The Annual Plan. A yearly training plan that includes all the training content including the location, sequencing and duration of all phases

of training, as well as the themes associated with each. It also includes the competition schedule and peaking periods. You start with the

competition schedule and work backwards to build out the macrocycles, mesocycles and microcycles.

TRAINING DESIGN IQ TEST

1.) When my athlete step on the track I already know what I want to do for the day.

2.) When unforeseen events happen it does not bother me because I have a Plan B.

3.) I understand how to identify when the training I prescribed for the day is no

longer effective midway through the workout.

4.) I am able to walk away from my athlete at practice and they are self sufficient to

complete the workout with supervision from another source while I work with

another event group.

5.) I have variations of one workout for my athletes for the day.
