Plan Description
Welcome to the Peaks Coaching Group SwimRun Intermediate Training Plan. This training plan is an 8-week build and can be used for the single and doubles SwimRun short course. This plan assumes you have already performed a base build. Over the 8-weeks, your program will prepare you for the event with the following structure:
1. Test Week - 1 week
2. Build block - 3 weeks
3. Recovery Week - 1 week
4. Peak block - 2 weeks
5. Taper week - 1 week
During these blocks, you will focus on critical elements of SwimRun such as transitioning from the swim to the run and back to the swim, swimming with paddles, swim and run speed work, and SwimRun specific resistance training. The average training time will be 10-12 hrs/week with longer training sessions occurring on the weekends. No matter your experience level, this plan will make you ready for your SwimRun short course event, and you will have fun training!
This entire program is written by Dr. Chris Myers who has a Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology, specializing in endurance physiology, and has a background in sports nutrition. He is the Head Coach and founder of 3 Sports Science, USAC Level 1 Coach, USA Swimming Level 4, USAT Level IIE, and IMU Certified coach.
