At the beginning of training all athletes are looking to train stimulating the different qualities to be ready for the races; this means way to the so-called "week-type" training.
This term was always meant that microcycle of workout that stimulates the various organic aspects and implies a good basis for preparation. The week-type makes sense, then, in the first phase of the competitive period, but it is useful to continue with the same pattern throughout the year?
Here we must be very clear: if you mean the same pattern in terms of workloads, then it makes absolutely no sense to arrive at a basis pattern to be pursued; and may be less serious if we’re speaking of days dedicated to various kinds of training.
For example, if you're used to dedicate a day to force, one to threshold repetition and one to the distance, this pattern may also be valid forever, varying loads within each day anyway. It makes no sense to do a number repetitions of strength on Tuesday, tot series at threshold on Thursday, for example. Following the same pattern will end up then with the body to bear all the same loads and instead they should vary; then how do you do a recovery period?
I believe that each of us must keep in mind what could be his week-type of training, and that it has to coincide with the best performance, but this pattern can serve as a starting point to establish clearer and more precisely periods and future trainings.
In essence, find out your typical week, but not as a point of arrival, than as a starting point to look for improvements in form and performance you want.
