ITC Interval Calculator: what is it, how does it work and how can it help you?
Do you feel like you are giving too much of yourself during training and there is no progress?
You might even be driven to vomit with those two infamous foreign slogans in your head:
- No pain, no gain (no pain, no gain)
- Go hard or go home
If you want easier, more relevant and transparent planning and training for your interval workouts for running, cycling, rowing and more, then ITC is the right thing for you!
Example of a 5-week plan based on MAS – Maximum Aerobic Speed.
ITC takes note:
the athlete’s current ability:
- MAS (maximum aerobic speed)
- MSS (maximum sprint speed)
- pulse
- body weight…
You can plan your interval training with:
- MAS, MSS, ASR (anaerobic speed reserve) and HR – pulse.
- Different types of substrate and the corresponding calculation of losses: athletics track, grass, mud and no losses.
- One or more distances in each interval.
- different rest periods (recommended duration already entered).
- Intensity (already pre-set for easier selection)
- Duration (pre-set).
An added plus is the instant analysis of what is planned, using figures (right in the table) and graphs.
This allows you to see, even with a limited knowledge of the physiology of effort, where the “black hole” might be during the planning process.
The images show the final ITC, which has a pre-set format for print, pdf or image.
You can save the image on your phone, which we always have with us, and before the training you can look at the parameters needed for the training and the training can be carried out.
In addition to the excel, you get instructions in English with working links to youtube where you can see how it works and actually learn how to use ITC in practice .
We have and will continue to organise workshops on interval training and the use of ITC.
