Your 16 Week Standard Distance Aquabike Beginner Plan from a Level 3 British Triathlon Coach
Welcome to your training plan!
This plan is intended for athletes with a goal of finishing their first Standard Aquabike event.
Before you begin you should comfortably swim for 30 minutes and cycle for 45 minutes and complete at least 3 total hours of aerobic exercise over seven days.
Your plan includes:
- Swimming, Cycling and S&C Sessions
- Training and Racing Tips
- Strength session to help avoid injuries
- Video and written sessions
- Heart Rate Session Targets for Swimming.
- Power targets for Cycling for use with your power meter and indoor trainer and apps like Zwift, TrainingPeaks Virtual, Rouvy ete
- Structured sessions for Wahoo, Garmin, Coros, Polar etc
- Free Email Access to Coach
The weekly training volume starts at approximately 4 hours in week 1 and peaks at approximately 7.5 hours in week 11.
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.
