APEC designs, documents and reviews concurrent strength-and-endurance programmes for sports clubs, high-performance centres and technical staff.
Four services, one method. They are usually combined: planning without review is a document, and review without planning is an opinion.
Strength and endurance in one progression.
Cycles and load control, written before the first session.
Methodological support for staff who plan in house.
Scheduled review against how the athlete actually responded.
Reports and protocols for internal use.
Every engagement produces a document: phases, weekly structure, loads, progression rules and the reasoning behind each one. You can read it, question it and keep it.
Strength and endurance are planned together, with interference, accumulated fatigue and recovery treated as part of the design rather than as a surprise.
Plans are checked against what was actually trained and how the athlete responded, then amended in writing. Nothing is adjusted from memory.
Training history, current weekly load, schedule, available equipment, injury history and what the season or the goal actually demands.
Current capacities and the limiting factor, stated plainly. If the constraint is time or recovery rather than training, we say so before proposing anything.
The written programme: phases, weekly structure, loads, progression rules, and the instructions for a week that goes wrong.
You train and record what was done. The log is the evidence the next decision rests on.
At a fixed cadence, the plan is checked against adherence and response, and amended in writing with the reason for each change.
The value of planning shows up when there is training history to plan against, and enough load that sequencing it matters.
Anyone who has to lift and also run, ride, row or swim, and has felt the two pull against each other.
Teams that want their own method audited and sharpened rather than replaced by an outside programme.
We do not sell body-composition outcomes, before and after photographs, or a timeline for looking different.
A single week has no progression to manage. Buy a session, not a planning service.
Pain, injury and medical conditions belong with a qualified clinician. We plan training around their advice, never instead of it.
The plan arrives as a document we can actually hand to the rest of the staff. That is the part we could never get right on our own.
We stopped arguing about session order because the reasoning is written down next to it.
What changed was the review. Someone reads the week back and tells us what is competing with what.
Training that develops strength and endurance inside the same programme rather than in separate seasons. It is what the market usually calls hybrid training. The work is in sequencing the two so that each keeps progressing and neither is quietly sacrificed.
Not by itself. The interference effect is real but its size depends on the modality, the proximity of the sessions and the total load. Adaptations compete when sessions are placed badly, the load exceeds the recovery available, or the phase has no stated priority. All three are planning problems.
A template cannot know your training history, your week, your equipment or your injuries, and it cannot change its mind when the block does not go as written. If a generic plan is still producing progress, keep following it. Planning earns its fee at the point where it stops.
The log is read before every scheduled review, against the plan it was supposed to follow, and the amendment is written with the reason for it. That is the whole service. There is no automatic progression that runs regardless of what happened.
Small corrections happen at the review cadence agreed in the proposal, usually fortnightly or monthly for an individual and at phase boundaries for a squad. The structure of the block itself is meant to survive the block, otherwise it was never a plan.
The plan already contains instructions for a week that goes wrong, so most disruptions are handled without contacting us. When a disruption is long enough to change the phase, the phase is rewritten and the reason is recorded.
If the question is specific to your situation, it is faster to ask it directly than to look for it here. Describe the goal and the week you have.
Describe the goal, the horizon and the week you actually have. We reply with whether we are the right fit and what a proposal would cover.
We read every enquiry ourselves. You get a straight answer about whether we are the right fit, and if we are, a written proposal with the scope, the fee and the schedule for your engagement.
Nothing is charged through this website, and there is no account to create. If we are not the right fit we will say so and, where we can, point you somewhere better.
