Time efficiency is a major concern for the working athlete. You don’t want to waste time doing workouts that are not going to pay off when it comes time for your big race. You also don’t want to go through the season doing random workouts that never lead you to peak form. One of the most effective tools in avoiding time-wasting workouts is developing an outline for your season.This enables you to establish phases for your training (periodization) and structure workouts specific to your goals. Once you have the phases established, you can develop workouts to suit the phase. The outline also helps maintain focus and not waste time doing workouts that may not be in your best interest.
