Plan Description
I am STOKED to offer this Long Course Triathlon 12-Week Base Period Training Plan that has everything an intermediate level triathlete needs to build a solid foundation in order to complete a long course triathlon similar to the following distances: 1.9 km swim + 90 km bike + 21.1 km run.
The plan is super EASY TO FOLLOW, manageable with a busy full-time work schedule, and FUN! All workouts include structure but not so much that it gets hard to follow and confusing. Users should be ready to handle an 8-hour training week (week 2) and build up to 12 hours at the peak of this plan (week 11).
This plan will help the triathlete to build a strong and solid foundation with a heavy focus on increasing aerobic capacity and structural tolerance using progressive overload for volume. There are several guides included that the user can download: a detailed training guide, TWO structured triathlon-specific strength training plans (one for anatomical adaptation phase and the other for increasing muscular force), and a mobility guide for active recovery days, pre and post-workout routines.
One of the key features of this plan is the baseline testing and reassessments. The baseline is completed in the first week. A reassessment is done at the half-way point and then we finish the plan with a final reassessment. This data is excellent for the long course triathlete, to identify strengths and weaknesses so they have an idea of where they stand before starting the competitive stage of their training.
Equipment required: all gear related to triathlon. For the strength training, dumbbells are all that's needed. Other equipment that can be used is a bench or stepper, barbells, and/or kettlebells. For mobility training, users need a foam roller and straps.
