Periodization
Definition
Periodization is the systematic organization of training into cycles (microcycles, mesocycles, macrocycles) with varying emphasis on volume and intensity to optimize performance for a target event.
Why it matters
Periodization prevents overtraining, ensures adequate recovery, and builds fitness in logical phases (base, build, peak, taper) that align with race season.
