Round Numbers in Training Plans
Training plans often utilize round numbers for session durations, rest intervals, and tapering periods to simplify the process for athletes. While this may lead to discussions about potential biases toward simplification, using whole numbers helps maintain clarity and ease of use during training. For instance, swim training typically employs increments that align with whole seconds, making it more accessible for athletes to manage their times effectively. Ultimately, the focus should remain on total workload and the quality of the session rather than getting caught up in the precision of individual intervals.
