TrainingDesign Pro
by Gary Winckler
$220.00

This is the program Scott Christensen used to create his Twelve Month Workout Plan and he absolutely swears by it.

TrainingDesign Pro was developed by Gary Winckler, head women's track and field coach at the University of Illinois (Champaign-Urbana). He describes it as follows:

"TrainingDesign Pro is a Panorama-based database designed to:

Plan athletic training programs
- MacroCycle
- MicroCycle
- Training Session
Prescribe exercise loads-sets-reps;
Record workout volumes or other significant parameters;
Analyze volumes of work planned and completed;
Calculate race distribution patterns for sprint, hurdle, and middle-distance events;
Calculate intensities for weight training and running;
Record and analyze training density and demand;
Record and analyze results for training, competition, and tests.

"Unlike 'cookbook' programs this piece of software is as flexible as the mind of its user. It was not designed to be 'the answer' to training but rather a tool to enhance the trainer's/coach's artistic and scientific abilities.

"TrainingDesign Pro was created for the purpose of serving individual needs of groups of athletes. The versatility of the program makes it an ideal tool not only for coaches of all sports, but Athletic Trainers, Physical Therapists, Doctors, Strength and Conditioning Coaches, and Personal Trainers."
