Training Plans

Training plans are built around your particular race goal but as importantly around your own lifestyle, work and family commitments. The plan will be event specific whether that is for a beginner who wants to start with a super sprint event or the triathlete who wants to move up from an Olympic distance race to a half ironman (70.3). Communication is vitally important and if for example you have to travel on a business trip the plan can be adapted to accommodate this. For example if you are travelling to a place where there is a hotel gym, but no pool, then the schedule can be adjusted to do more running using a treadmill and some strength and conditioning work. The biking and swimming can be rescheduled to when the business trip is over. Short business trips that are planned can be used as forced rest periods to avoid over training. Treadmill running can be used very effectively.

Training plans are advised every week and adjusted depending upon how the athlete is performing and any external factors.
