Weekly Distance Target

[week-lee dis-tuhns tar-get]

Phonetic (Standard)

/ˈwiːkli ˈdɪstəns ˈtɑːrɡɪt/

IPA

Noun

The total mileage or kilometers a runner or athlete aims to cover within a seven-day period as part of their training regimen.

Weekly Distance Target is the total mileage a runner aims to cover in a week. It helps structure training, ensuring balanced workload and recovery. For example, a marathoner might target 50 miles weekly, while a beginner might aim for 10. It prevents overtraining and injury by gradually increasing mileage. Kaizen allows you to increase your training load (as a Weekly Distance Target) sustainably. Tracking this target helps runners stay motivated and measure progress. It matters because it aligns with specific goals, whether improving endurance, speed, or preparing for a race, and ensures a sustainable training plan.
