The key to creating a successful training programme is finding what works for you, and using that knowledge to maximise your results. Whilst you or I may respond well to a particular training programme, this does not mean that the guy next to us in the gym will do the same. There is no such thing as a 'one size fits all' training programme we all have different needs depending on our age, gender, current fitness levels and even our genetics. The most important part of any successful training programme is that it is tailored to The Individual. Granted, the final part of the S.P.O.R.T jigsaw could quite easily have been written as just 'Individual' or 'Individuality.' But S.P.O.R.I doesn't quite have the same ring to it, does it? This may sound overly simplistic, but it's amazing how many people can get stuck in a rut with their training if they're not consistently looking to progress. However you do it, progression is about achieving better results every time you go out on the track or in the gym.

Progression comes in many forms adding more weight, more repetitions, more distance, faster speed or less rest. If you're lifting the same weight or running the same distance each week, how are you ever going to improve? In order for a training programme to be successful it must apply the principle of progression, meaning that you must be consistently looking to better your results. Know what you're training for, and you'll get there much more quickly. It's no good walking into a gym or out onto the running track without a clear goal in mind. If you wanted to build bigger legs, for example, you would make heavy squats and deadlifts a regular feature in your workouts. Even if you're not training for a sport, it helps to have a clear goal in mind in order to keep your training specific.
