Annual Training Plan Template

Summary
Periodization is a training method that involves focusing on different aspects of training at different times of the year. It can be intimidating, but it is actually quite simple. Most recreational runners already periodize their training without realizing it.

The five primary periods of periodization are strength, base, build, race, and recovery. Strength period focuses on increasing muscular strength, base period establishes a foundation of fitness, build period focuses on race-specific training, race period is for the actual race, and recovery period allows for rest and mental rejuvenation.

Alternating between strength and base periods during the off-season is recommended.
