I have set Wednesday as your rest day so you can recover mid-week.
A pre-requisite would be that you can swim at least 800m continuously and you can cycle for 60 mins. You should consult your doctor before embarking on any physical fitness training. For any of the sessions, especially the strength and conditioning sessions, if you are unsure of the exercises then seek the help and advice of a professional at your training venue.
The training sessions can be completed in a number of locations. The bike sessions could be done either outdoors or indoors. I have given options for pool and open water swimming. We would strongly advise that you do spend as much time as possible training outdoors so that you get time training in similar conditions to those that you will be racing in.
The intensity of the training in this programme is to be executed using RPE and/or Heart Rate (HR) Zones, this allows you to work to your limits with specific barriers. For the bike power targets have been included.
