Sharpen the science behind every training plan you write. This Continuing Professional Development course gives coaches a clear, evidence-based grounding in the physiology, performance metrics, and testing principles that shape how endurance training is designed, monitored, and adjusted across swim, bike, and run. It brings energy systems, VO₂max, thresholds, heart rate and power monitoring, environmental physiology, and applied testing together into one coherent framework, so your plans rest on sound reasoning rather than habit or guesswork.
