OK, you know a little bit more about periodization (see Period It!). Let's put it in to action.
Periodization deals with micro-, meso-, and macrocycles in a way that is sort of like...well, I cannot draw an analogy right now. Wait, it is sort of like studying. Wow, horrible analogy. Here it out:
Microcycles are exercising in a certain manner for a short period of time, say, two weeks. In those two weeks, you do aerobic training. Concentration on aerobic training would improve your aerobic capacity and more.
Mesocycles are exercising for a longer period of time than microcycles. Keeping the same example, you do not have to stay with aerobic training. You can do strengthening and other forms of exercise.
Macrocycles...get it?
So, between today, Saturday, November 1, 2014 and Saturday, November 15, 2014, do one microcycle. Here it is and a former challenge:
If you have a treadmill, walk or run your normal distance but increase the total time by 10 seconds every other day.
If you have a child, play with him or her for an extra 5 minutes every other day.
With heart,
Derek
