Microcycle

The shortest phase within an arranged schedule is referred to as a microcycle and typically continues for one week. It is concentrated on targeted workouts and rest to achieve greater objectives. A microcycle has targeted sessions such as interval training, strengthening exercises, or long workouts, and days of rest.
By dividing a macrocycle into microcycles, athletes can more accurately manage training stress and adaptation. A microcycle might, for instance, include three moderate runs, a speed interval day, two easy cross-training days, and a full rest day. Fatigue, performance, and wellness are monitored for each microcycle, and coaches modify the volume and intensity of the next block according to this feedback in order to promote gradual improvement and reduce injury risk.
