MAS but for normal coaches

Many teams are using MAS to train “aerobic capacity”… but they’re not actually improving game-speed repeatability.

Why?

Because Maximal Aerobic Speed (MAS) has been turned into a math problem instead of a programming tool.

So I’m running a live webinar on Monday, March 2, 2026 at 7:30pm CST to fix that.

🎯 “Simplifying MAS for Team Sports”

In it, you'll learn:

  • What MAS actually is (and what it isn’t)

  • Why most conditioning programs miss it

  • How to train it without lab tests, spreadsheets, or guesswork

  • How MAS fits into real-world practice planning


🔑 Practical MAS Test + Sample Session (You Can Use This Week)

 

Step 1: Simple MAS Field Test
Run a 6-minute time trial on a track or field.
Total meters Ă· 360 seconds = meters per second (MAS).

Example:
1,620m Ă· 360 = 4.5 m/s MAS

No fancy equipment. Just cones and a stopwatch.


Step 2: Plug It Into a Session

15 seconds at 100% MAS
→ 4.5 m/s × 15 = ~67m per rep

Run ~65 - 70m
Rest 15 seconds
Repeat for 8 - 12 reps

If athletes fall apart early, you’ve identified an aerobic power limiter — not a “mental toughness” issue.

That’s MAS applied — simple, objective, actionable.


Step 3: Register for the Webinar! 

This is for coaches who want athletes who can:

  • Run fast
  • Recover faster
  • Repeat it again and again (and again and again)

 

👉 Save your seat here

This framework is the backbone of how I built repeat-sprint ability, aerobic power, and game-speed conditioning in professional rugby — without burning athletes out.

If your conditioning still feels like:

“We’re doing a lot… but I’m not sure it’s working”

Let's change that together.

See you in a few weeks,

Tim

Allow Myself to Introduce Myself
Hey — thanks for being here. Whether you joined this list last week or you’ve been around since the Conditioning Project days, there’s a decent chance you know my content better than you know me. So to kick off 2026, I wanted to properly re-introduce myself and reset the tone for what this newsletter is about. I’m Tim Kettenring — and I build principle-based performance systems, not just progra...
