Periodization Planner Calculator
Calculate training phase durations for a periodized plan leading up to a target competition date.
Base Phase Duration
6 weeks
Base Phase Duration vs Total Preparation Weeks
Training Periodization
Periodization structures training into phases that progressively build fitness and allow for peak performance at the right time.
Three-Phase Model
Base Phase (40%): Build aerobic capacity and general strength with moderate intensity and increasing volume.
Build Phase (35%): Increase intensity with sport-specific work while maintaining volume.
Peak/Taper Phase (25%): Reduce volume while maintaining intensity to achieve supercompensation for competition.
Phase Duration = Total Weeks x Phase Percentage
Example Calculation
A 16-week training plan with 40% base, 35% build, 25% peak.
- 01Base phase = 16 x 0.40 = 6.4, rounded to 6 weeks
- 02Build phase = 16 x 0.35 = 5.6, rounded to 6 weeks
- 03Peak/taper = 16 x 0.25 = 4.0 = 4 weeks
