Training
Target score planner
A useful PT plan starts with the score gap, not a random workout. After you calculate a report, myptscore.us shows the passing gap, the 90% benchmark gap, the next listed tier, component minimum issues, and the lowest component by percentage. Use that report as the starting point for deciding what to train first.
What do I need to pass?
If the report says you are below the passing total, train the component with the largest available point gain first unless a component minimum is also failed. A failed minimum is usually the first priority because a strong total may not fix a failed required event. For example, if the cardio score is high but the plank or push-up component is below the minimum row, the fastest path to a passing report is usually to bring that weak event above the floor before chasing extra cardio points.
What do I need to score a 90?
The calculator treats 90% as a planning benchmark for every test. For a 100-point test, that means 90 points. For a 300-point test, that means 270 points. For a 500-point test, that means 450 points. The report shows how many total points are missing. If the gap is small, compare two or three components and look for the result that can be improved with the least training risk. If the gap is large, use a four-to-eight-week block and reassess weekly.
Score improvement calculator
The current score-improvement workflow is simple: calculate a baseline, save the score to your local history, train for a week, test the same events again, and compare the new report against the saved score. Because saved scores stay on the device, the comparison is private and does not require an account. The saved history is best used for practice tests, not official recordkeeping.
Component tradeoff calculator
When several components have room to improve, use the component tradeoff idea: one point gained in any assessed component helps the total, but not every point costs the same effort. A slow run may require weeks to improve, while a few additional push-ups or a longer plank hold may be faster for some users. The report's weakest-component line is a practical first target because it identifies the event with the lowest percentage of available points.
Training targets by event
| Goal | Primary tool | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Improve HAMR | Interval work | Alternate short shuttle repeats, controlled recovery, and one longer aerobic session each week. |
| Improve 1.5-mile or 2-mile run | Pace control | Use one easy run, one tempo session, and one interval session when recovery allows. |
| Improve push-ups | Submax volume | Practice sets below failure more often than max-effort tests. |
| Improve plank or core | Position quality | Build repeatable holds, breathing control, and trunk tension before adding time. |
Use the workout library for specific sessions and the calculator after each practice test. If a training plan causes pain, loss of form, or recovery problems, reduce volume and seek qualified medical or coaching guidance.
