Before you begin you should comfortably swim for 45 minutes and cycle for 60 minutes.

- Strength session to help avoid injuries
- Video and written sessions
- Heart Rate and RPE Session Targets for Cycling

The weekly training volume starts at approximately 7.25 hours in week 1 and peaks at approximately 10.25 hours in week 13.
You should consult your doctor before embarking on any physical fitness training.
The training sessions can be completed in a number of locations. The swim sessions are mostly designed for a pool, with open water sessions towards the latter half of the program. The bike sessions could be done either outdoors or indoors. 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.
