Workload 101: a simple way to stay consistent

A practical guide to volume, intensity, and how to avoid week-to-week spikes that derail consistency.

1 min readworkload • planning • consistency

Workload is not a single number. It’s a pattern across the week: what you did, how hard it was, and how it stacked.

Think in weeks, not workouts

One tough session rarely breaks a plan. Big swings in weekly volume and intensity usually do.

A practical rule

  • Increase one lever at a time: volume or intensity.
  • Keep the easy days easy so the hard days can be productive.
  • Review the week and make the smallest useful adjustment.

Marzic keeps the plan, the work, and the signals together so weekly review takes minutes—not a spreadsheet.
