Get Personal holds extensive knowledge on periodisation training. This is the key to preparation for any event.

No matter what the event, you cannot train continuously on the same distances, at the same intensities at the same locations and expect to get results on race day. Periodisation means you work out a cycle allowing your body to peak at certain times and then actively recover at other times.

We call this cycle a macro cycle (a long term plan to peak your training for a specific event). A macro cycle is made up of a series of micro cycles (medium length training plan of between 4 and 6 weeks). A micro cycle is made up of a series of meso (weekly) cycles.

Putting this all together and making sure there is the right balance between rest and intensity, is an art. Get the balance wrong and you could end up in the injury bin. That’s why it makes sense to get the right balance with Get Personal.

We will sit down with you and evaluate your intended event, take into account any previous training, we’ll look at the time period to achieve this goal, check your current fitness level, health factors, time available to train and work on your personal path to a perfect macro cycle.

Training for a specific event really helps you focus on your workouts. Having a target event also helps with motivation, providing a focus especially if you hit a stale point in your training.
