Are you tired of the constant injury cycle? Are you continuously training but not seeing your paces increase or your endurance improve?

It may be that you haven’t taken the birds eye view of your training structure, so you’re missing vital elements that will help you reach your goals. Periodized training plans can be structured to train for a race, recover and build strength, set a PR or simply ensure you’re not overtraining on your way to an injury.

In episode 31, Coach Val takes you through the structure of a periodized training program. She breaks down the elements of a plan and how to use it to train for a race or keep you on track all year long. There is a time to train and a time to recover, but without a periodized plan it’s hard to tell if you’re coming or going.
