I have gone back to the periodization chart from the USATF II Course but decided to use the modified version that was a little more Stephen Few compliant. An easy way to do this analog style is a sheet of graph paper landscape wise and then place the total weeks of training and competition on the X axis, and have a list of benchmarks vertically with the top being priority. Tempo volumes and various graphs are nice, but time and needs are the key variables. Charlie has done a great job with this with his Key Concepts product as the relationships between time and emphasis demonstrate what the most vital parameters in a program. The great thing about using Excel is that template becomes the report during each phase, illustrated in the slide. Plan, record, update.
