Starting a new training programme II

How should training be planned?


First thing to do is always apply the principles of training to your programme (see original Starting a new training programme). You should also divide your training into both general and specific.


In your general phase (10-12 weeks), you should develop your fundamentals which are your strength and endurance. In strength training, aim to work on all of muscle endurance-hypertrophy, muscle strength and muscle strength-power. In endurance, try get some minutes on the clock with some distance runs and some interval runs with 1:1 work-rest ratios (periods lasting between anywhere from 2-5min).


Getting the fundamentals in place is essential before moving onto sports-specifics.
