Course Description

Do you have clients who want to participate in long distance events but have limited time to train? Each year, millions of people compete in marathons, triathlons, and other endurance events, squeezing training time between work, family, and other commitments. Many of them finish, but few truly “peak”. This webinar reviews the steps for identifying the skills and abilities that are critical for success in a specific event and provides strategies for adapting training principals of elite endurance athletes to create individualized programs to help your clients reach their goals on limited training schedules. Enjoy the benefits of an ACE instructor in the comfort of your own home through our convenient online webinars.

Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:
  • Identify the critical skills and abilities required for success in a given event.
  • Describe common training principals used by elite endurance athletes in many sports.
  • Explain the parameters of exercise program design as they apply to endurance athletics including: frequency, intensity, progression, recovery and specificity.
  • Determine if client goals are attainable based on current fitness, available training time and event date.
  • Design long-term programs to help clients “peak” for events through appropriate training volume-based on time available, focused intervals, and adequate recovery.
