Measure Your Endurance Training

If you’re in the process of preparing for an endurance event, you need to be able to quantify your progress. Monitoring your performance and measuring your fitness will help you train more safely and sustainably.

On this second of three endurance courses from Federation University Australia, you’ll learn how to identify your needs, look after your body, and avoid overstretching yourself.

You’ll start with an introduction to data collection and analysis.

Exploring a range of monitoring methods and strategies, you’ll learn how to measure your fitness, generate training data, and analyse your results to define your training plan.

Allowing yourself time for rest and recovery will help you progress faster and prevent overtraining.

In Week 2 of the course, you’ll master the principles of recovery, and learn how to assess when enough rest is enough.

The benefits of resistance training are numerous: building muscular strength and bone density, protecting joints from injury, bringing balance to your fitness programme.

In the last week of the course, you’ll understand how incorporating resistance training could reduce the risk of injury and ensure you meet your fitness goals.

With this knowledge, you’ll be prepared to complete the third and final course of the track.
