Each level's guideline will show a "Sessions per week" figure, this figure shows how workouts, runs or sessions the athlete should be able to complete both from a physical capability and time sacrifice perspective during that week. It does not ask how many sessions per week you are currently doing nor is it how many sessions in every week of the programme. 

Similarly, the "Hours per week" figure outlines roughly how many hours of training each programme will/may include at a maximum level. Thus, hour many hours the athlete can train for in a week from both a physical capability and time sacrifice standpoint. Again, this is does not show hour many hours every week of the programme will require nor is it how many hours you are currently running for in a week. 

As well as these two, the programme will also feature a "Period of consistent training" this figure asks how long the athlete has been consistently training. Specifically, this figure asks that prior to logging into our website, how many months of consistent training has the athlete undergone.
