Half Marathon Program With Triathlon Maintenance - Intermediate To Advanced | 16 Weeks
**Price is US dollars**
This program is designed by Tim Reed, world champion triathlete and head coach at RPG coaching. This program is suitable for the athlete looking to use the cross training of cycling and swimming to boost their aerobic fitness to perform well in a target half marathon with a lower risk of running injuries compared to the more traditional run programs. Or the athletes motivation is to race a half marathon well but continue to maintain or improve their swimming and cycling.
This training sessions are built around your anaerobic (lactate) threshold heart rate but also include a RPE (rate of perceived exertion) guide. It's important that your training zones are set correctly to not only ensure that you minimise the chance of injury and maximise the running performance gains but also so that the plan is largely enjoyable throughout. Contrary to what you may have been used to with other sports or gym sessions, endurance events rely on the majority of the training being done at a relatively comfortable intensity to stay injury free, make steady improvements to reach your potential and enjoy the training. This is why ensuring you've set the zones correctly and are measuring the intensity correctly is very important.
The first week of the plan will provide information on how to identify your training zones and set them correctly in Training Peaks and if you have any further questions or need extra guidance please reach out to info@rpgcoaching.com
To note - there are a lot of notes included in the plan that do not appear in the week preview. Our goal is to not only train you but also for you to complete this plan more knowledgeable around all aspects of running and training.
To complement your training plan with community connection and information regularly shared from coaches you will receive free RPG online membership for the duration of the plan, saving you the typical membership fee of $35 AUD/month. We look forward to guiding you to a great half marathon performance!
