Basics of Training Program Design
Basics of Training Program Design is focused around the core ideas and concepts that help build training plans in almost any sport. In this course we will discuss the cycles of building a training program, and how to set up proper goals for a season. For each concept, you will not only learn about it but also see an example training plan built for a hypothetical scenario. This course will not go into the detailed specifics of training zones, drills, or similar sport-specific training design items but it does provide the knowledge needed to step into more detailed training planning.
We strongly recommend taking this course prior to the Endurance Training Design course. This course will provide the essential foundational knowledge for more advanced training design.
