Funnel periodization – a modern training method pioneered by the Kenya-based elite running coach Renato Canova. It preconditions your speed and endurance early in the training cycle so that you can reach a higher VO2max and lactate threshold in the subsequent focus block and eventually run a faster race pace.1. Foundation - This is the base + speed phase which is characterized by extreme polarization.
2. Pre-Competition - This is the fitness phase with a focus on VO2max and lactate threshold.
3. Race-Specific - This is the sharpening phase where your race-fitness is brought to a peak.
