Weekly Build Up of Training Within 4 Week Period
Within
each four-week period the training workload is spread according
to the following illustration: |
 |
There is a steady progression in workload followed
by a week of reduced effort. This allows the body to adapt. If too
much is attempted, too soon, the body cannot adapt and will begin
to weaken and break down.
Between October and April each four-week period is gradually increased
in intensity from the preceding four-week period, following a similar
pattern.
If you are starting the programme later than mid October and you
have a reasonable level of fitness carried over from the previous
season, you may need to omit the fourth week of the first two or
three four weekly cycles (Aerobic Base 1, 2 and 3). |
