Plan Description
Welcome to the Enduraprep long distance swim plan.
This is plan is FREE with code ENDURAPREP
This plan is based on two swims per week with a suggestion of a third swim after twelve weeks.
We really prefer to work with individuals on a more personal basis and tailor their training prescription to suit their unique needs. However, we appreciate that coaching isn't an option for everyone so concider this our gift to you.
The plan starts with swims of 1250 metres that are very technique focused with short repetitions and plenty of recovery. As the plan develops you will complete progress checks and each week perform one speed swim and one endurance swim. The speed swim focuses on building strength and speed through shorter intervals. The endurance swim builds stamina through longer steady intervals.
This plan is perfect for the first time long distance triathlete or for someone taking on an open water swim event.
We created this plan as we are fully aware that most triathlon and swim plans have three or more sessions per week. We understand that for many people this is simple not feasible. We created these efficient 'bang for buck' sessions to make sure you can really improve your swimming with just two swims per week.
The plan peaks with sessions of 4000 metres. Don't panic, twenty four weeks is a long time and if you are consistent you will get there. If your swim event is longer than 4000 metres, I wouldn't worry, this plan is certainly powerful enough to prepare you for a swim of 5, 6 or even 7 kilometres in open water.
