✅Feel free to move things around, work to not work too hard on one day, like a heavy lifting day and a hard bike workout day. However, do not shy away from lifting with legs and then doing a bike or a run. While the first time or two that you do this it will feel difficult, you will get use to it.

✅The "S/B/R Normal Plan placeholder" is just meant to let you know what we are planning the strength around. It isn't a big deal if your plan is different from that unless you are approaching a big race. If this is the case, email us and we can utilize a mini coaching session that is designed for us to arrange your strength to accommodate your race/goals.

✅ Your first goal this week is to get into a rhythm of balancing strength training and all the other workouts you do. This can be a challenge. Be patient. And remember that strength training is very important.

✅The yoga and stretching within this program is specifically designed for strength training and the triathlete. I am a 500+ RYT yoga teacher. Be cautious about going to any yoga class. As with anything else, you get what you pay for and it makes much training and experience for a yoga teacher to really know how to utilize yoga to bring about change in the triathlete's body.

These workouts are designed to be fast and effective, minimally impacting your schedule to leave room for swim/bike/run.
