This literature review article aims to analyze different training programs for runners of different performance levels, using case studies to explore how these programs impact the performance and physiological adaptation of athletes. The central research question addresses how different training programs influence the performance and physiological adaptation of runners, considering their distinct abilities, and what are the practical implications for optimizing results at each level. The evidence collected suggests that personalizing training programs according to the runner's ability level is crucial to maximize results and promote effective physiological adaptation. Variations in training methods, such as interval, continuous and resistance training, are analyzed, highlighting the importance of an adaptive and individualized approach. This study leads to an in-depth understanding of the nuances associated with training at different ability levels and provides valuable insights for coaches and athletes in developing more efficient and effective training programs.
