The Structure
We will then use this data to structure your training plan applying bias to compensate for above Strengths and Weaknesses. These will relate to Leg Speed and Run Efficiency, Aerobic Capacity, Anaerobic Power, Medium to Long Range Endurance etc
Our computer model will prescribe a PTT in each of the following Six Training Zones for training distances from 200m to 1k, 1mile and beyond.
The PTT is a function of

As a successful International Cyclist, Trevor averaged over 800 km/week for three years. As a 32min 10k and 2.37 marathon runner peaked at 150 km/week.
He will draw on this knowledge of training, at the edge, to structure your run session for distances from 800m to the marathon and beyond with a Personalised Training Plan - Please see Section 2
Trevor has over 25,000 hours of experience. Over many decades, he has analysed, filtered and selected the most effective exercise routines for Specific and General improvements
Designed and Developed by Trevor de Silva, over several decades, it is a very powerful tool for sportspeople.
He has used over 25,000 hours of Strength & Conditioning experience, including successful international sportspeople, to refine and select the most effective routines for many sports.
Key Objectives
Suitable for
Muscle Dynamics and Balance: During the first few sessions, Trevor will assess and identify any weaknesses in muscle balance. These will be addressed first
Injury Resolution: Under his guidance, participants will initially focus on any existing issues
Tailored for the Individual: Each participant has a Personal Workout Card (PWC) precisely tailored to the individual and the sport. Maximum 10 participants per class
Two on-site computers:
60 minute session: Small group, (max 10). Wednesdays at 7.00pm @ £10-00
BODYwise was designed and developed by Trevor de Silva, in the 1980s, as a complete fitness session of 90 mins.
LOOKING FOR A REASON TO START WALKING?
Here are Anne's top 10 . . . . .
1 walking is a good way of boosting energy: studies show that walking at a pace of around 60% perceived effort (around 3 mph or 20 min per mile) is the rate at which you start feel alert without sapping energy reserves and leaving you tired afterwards
2 walking helps quell food cravings: a brisk 15 minute walk mid-afternoon cuts the amount of sweet stuff people consume - University of Exeter research
3 walkers have stronger bones - for life: the impact of your foot on a hard surface strengthens your bones. Women who walk at least one mile or 20 min a day have a higher bone density after menopause. Research also indicates that walkers lose less bone day-to-day
4 walking is a natural mood booster: studies of people with mild depression found that walking for 30 minutes, 3 times a week for 16 weeks produced a mood-boosting effect similar to taking anti-depressants. For those who continued for 6 months or more, had a far lower risk of relapse
5 walkers are less likely to stop taking exercise: research indicates that 80% of walkers stick to their programme, compared with just 30% of runners
6 women who walk after menopause lower their risk of breast cancer: walking for at least an hour a day lowers the risk by 14%
7 walking 'feeds' the brain: Italian research indicates that people aged 65+ who walk the most reduce their risk of developing dementia by 27%
8 walkers live longer: brisk walking for 75+ minutes a week increases life expectancy by 1.8 years (USA National Cancer Institute). Additional activity) above minimal levels, appears to increase longevity even further
9 walking helps reduce the symptoms of menopause: walking could reduce the severity of some menopause symptoms - particularly those related to stress and anxiety. Around 40 minutes of walking, 5 times a week, is the point at which the benefit kicks in
10 walking helps fight major diseases: US research indicates that walking is as effective as running for fighting diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. As long as you burn the same number of calories whether walking or running which means walking a little longer or a bit faster!

Prerequisites
Methodology
ExecFit Training already advises several UK-based runners who are moving towards a national level. We currently train and coach two overseas runners, one of whom qualified for the, now postponed, Olympics 2020.
These runners do not, therefore, need to live locally. By the use of GPS systems, email and systematic monitoring performance and training objectives can be discussed and adjusted appropriately.
How to nominate
Nominee Profile
Current 5 km run form with some flexibility
Scroll down for Mile Project
Running a fast mile might seem irrelevant to an endurance runner who might be training for a 5k, 10k or Marathon. A mile time can be correlated to times for longer distances. This means it will be helpful in highlighting any issues/weaknesses in their training programme
For example: To run a 3h marathon, the mile time needed would be around 5.35. There will be many individual variations due to different muscle fibre compositions
For example a runner with significant Type 1 (see below) slow twitch fibres and 'adapted' Type 2A fibres, is likely to run a 3h marathon with a mile time of around 5.40 or slower. However, if a runner with a mile time of 5.35 fails to achieve a 3h marathon, it would indicate that their training for medium and long term endurance was lacking in intensity and/or duration

( D ) . . . . . . . . . . INCREASING Weekly DISTANCE . . . . . . . . . . .
Every third week increase your total weekly distance depending on the number of sessions you do in a week.
For example: If running:
We find this method better that the traditional 10%. Experience has shown us that it reduces the risk of injury as the body adjusts to the higher distance before the next increase.
( E ) . . . . . . . WEEKLY STRUCTURE & FREQUENCY . . . . . . . . .
We recommend the following spacing between runs and is applicable for up to 50m/80km a week and keeping an average of up to maximum of 10m/16k per run
Above 50m/80km a week, start to double up and still keep an average of c.10m/16k per run or increase judiciously. Speak to your coach or contact ExecFit Training
