Athletics Training Plans:
YPI is well suited to making periodized training
plans for all of the sports included in athletics.
YPI offers several alternatives:
Olympic-style training: Choose the Annual
Plan option from the New Plan screen. The default
options will give you a good starting point
for your plan. Be sure to allow hours for Mental
and Tactical training as well as Technical and
Physical training when estimating annual hours
(total volume) for your plan. YPI also allows
you to make new plans from last years plan,
acknowledging the long term benefit of continuous
training.
Special Events: Choose the One race,
one peak option on the New Plan screen. This
option will help you design a training plan
that will peak your performance for that one
special race in the year.
Multiple peaks: Multiple peaks can be
accommodated in a long Competition phase by
adding new phases at the appropriate points
in a standard one-peak annual plan. You may
add new Taper and Peak phases, or even, add
in a Pre-competition phase if desired. The YPI
manual shows how to do this, with worked examples.
Volume: Many running plans in the literature
are specified in terms of distance, miles or
km per work out. Using your own running speeds
as a base, these are easily converted to time-on-task
for the purposes of planning your training.
Younger runners: Young athletes are
not little adults. Take this into account when
making periodized plans for children. Younger
athletes are generally in school and you should
try to time peak volume and peak intensity so
that these do not clash with peaks in school
work.
Blocks, special micro cycles and training
camps: Use the Custom option to make short
term plans that will be used in a training camp
block or micro cycle. The Custom option is best
suited to short, 7-10 day camps or for training
blocks where you want to blitz one of the sport
components.

Biathlon
Biathlon Training Plans:
YPI is very well suited to making periodized
training plans for endurance sports like Biathlon.
For the main plan, use the Annual Plan option
from the New Plan screen. The default plan will
be a good approximation for most biathletes.
Be sure to allow for shooting training as well
as ski training when estimating annual hours
(total volume) for your plan. YPI also allows
you to make new plans from last years plan,
acknowledging the long term benefit of continuous
training.
Most of the summer shooting, and some of the
Fall shooting program will be categorized as
Technical training. Combination training, where
athletes shoot under physiological stress can
be planned and logged under the appropriate
Physical category, e.g. Zone 3 Ski combos.
Shooting plans: Some biathlon coaches
make separate shooting and skiing training plans,
with the shooting volume peaking and tapering
earlier than ski training.
Blocks, special micro cycles and training
camps: Use the Fitness Plan or Custom options
to make short term plans that will be used in
a training camp block or micro cycle. The Custom
option is best suited to short, 7-10 day camps.

Cross-Country Skiing
Cross-Country Training Plans:
YPI is ideally suited to making periodized
training plans for endurance sports like Cross-Country
Skiing. For the main plan, use the Annual Plan
option from the new plan screen. The default
options will be very close to an ideal xc plan.
Be sure to allow for Mental and Tactical training
as well as ski training when estimating annual
hours (total volume) for your plan. YPI also
allows you to make new plans from last years
plan, acknowledging the long term benefit of
continuous training.
Younger skiers: Young skiers are not
little adults. Take this into account when making
periodized plans for children. For example,
you could set peak volume for early September,
when schoolwork load is not too intense rather
than in October, where it might fall for a full-time
athlete.
Blocks, special micro cycles and training
camps: Use the Fitness Plan or Custom options
to make short term plans that will be used in
a training camp block or micro cycle. The Custom
option is best suited to short, 7-10 day camps.

Running - Distance Events
Running Training Plans:
YPI is ideally suited to making periodized
training plans for sports like long distance
running (1,500 m plus) which require longer
term training programs. YPI offers several alternatives:
Olympic-style training: Choose the Annual
Plan option from the New Plan screen. The default
options will give you a good starting point
for your plan. Be sure to allow hours for Mental
and Tactical training as well as Technical and

option will help you design a training plan
that will peak your performance for that one
special race in the year.
Fitness Running: Choose the Fitness
Plan option on the New Plan screen. This option
will help you design a plan around a certain
number of training hours per week, while avoiding
the staleness of always doing the same training
week after week.
Volume: Many running plans in the literature
are specified in terms of distance, miles or
km per work out. Using your own running speeds
as a base, these are easily converted to time-on-task
for the purposes of planning your training.
