MACROCYCLE • Long Term Programs • Duration: One Year Of Training • General Plan • Overall Goals - e.g. Improve General Fitness
MESOCYCLE • Training Phases or Training Blocks • Duration: 6-8 weeks • Detailed Plan • Specific Goals - Increase Aerobic Capacity
MICROCYCLE • Short Term • Duration: Daily or Weekly • Fine adjustments for maintaining goals - Improve knee lift on tempo runs
OFF SEASON • NOVEMBER – DECEMBER • 8 weeks – 2(3:1) • 2-3 Sessions Per Week • Active Recovery - Cross Training (Fusion) - Swim, Boxing, Spinning, Circuit, Pilates • Prehabilitation Exercises • Aerobic Emphasis (60%) • Examples……..
