Training plans should be specific enough to guide you and flexible enough to survive.
Many endurance training plans fail at the same point: not the theory, but the
Tuesday night when work ran late, the weekend trip appeared, or fatigue made
the planned intensity less useful than recovery.
FAAAST starts from the plan, then treats the current week as a living decision:
what still supports the goal, what should move, what should shrink, and what
can wait.
Training science in plain language
Good planning is not magic. It is a sequence of practical decisions:
progressive overload, event-specific work, recovery, and enough consistency to
keep the block alive. FAAAST keeps those principles close to the athlete's next
choice instead of hiding them in a score.
Built for the week you actually have
Use FAAAST when your cycling plan, running plan, or triathlon training plan
needs to stay serious without pretending every week is perfect. The plan can
bend. The goal stays visible.
