The Wave Running app creates individual running programs based on the Elliott Wave Theory to help improve your endurance running.
Data You Enter
For each training program you make, you nominate:
- A specific target volume – i.e. the distance of the event you want to run at the end of the program – e.g. 42 km, 50 miles;
- Start date and a target date – resulting in a calculated number of weeks for the program (the target date is the date of the event you want to run);
- Your “big day” for the week – this is the day you will do your long run each week – e.g. Saturday;
- Your “run days” for the week – the days you will run each week, including your big day – e.g. Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Sat;
The App Creates
- Target volumes for each week (calculated by Wave Running and based on the Elliott Wave Theory). These include systematically calculated training volumes for heavy weeks, lighter weeks, the taper, and the event week;
- A calendar of suggested daily training volumes for each day in the program, based on the “run days” and “big day” you nominated;
- Graphs showing the ideal Elliott Wave and the adjusted Wave to fit your program;
In addition to training volumes for each day, Wave Running includes guidelines for intensity based on the Elliott Wave Theory. While important, they are not as important as achieving nominated training volumes each week. Runners attempting a distance for the first time should pay particular attention to this focus on weekly training volume.
Rather than a discrete number of training programs for set distances and durations (e.g. 20 weeks – 10 km, half marathon, marathon, 50 km, 50 miles), Wave Running allows you to nominate the event distance and the number of weeks and creates individual training programs to suit.
Unfortunately, Wave Running will not do the work for you, and the programs you create need to be realistic based on your level of fitness and experience!
