Leverage the wisdom of professional coaches.

Basics of Periodization

Pedestal uses periodization—the athletic gold standard—to generate fitness plans.

Maximize Training with Periodization

Periodization optimizes performance by systematically increasing training intensity and volume, while allowing time for proper recovery and adaptation. Periodization focuses on achieving long-term goals, rather than just short-term gains.

Supercompensation Training Effect
Experience the Supercompensation Effect

More is not always better. When your training time is calculated properly, you benefit from the effects of supercompensation.

During supercompensation, the body overcompensates for the stress by building more muscle tissue, increasing energy stores, and enhancing the ability to perform the same activity at a higher level.

Long-term Supercompensation Training Effect
Long-Term Performance Improvement

Your periodization plan is designed to keep you training in the supercompensated state, resulting in maximized performance results.

Reach peak performance for upcoming events.

Targeted Cardio Training

Heart rate zones are calculated using advanced methods to ensure the most precise results. Unlike pace or distance-based training, heart rate zone training adapts to your body’s current condition, allowing you to train at the optimal intensity regardless of factors like fatigue, terrain, or weather. Your personalized zones will be tailored to your specific fitness goals, helping you get the most out of every workout.
