This plan is written for an intermediate athlete looking to train for an aquabike middle distance race.

The plan incorporates 3-4 swims per week, catering to a range of abilities. Even if your swimming is slightly weaker, the plan is structured to gradually build your endurance and technique. Videos demonstrating all the drills are provided to assist you in comprehending and executing them accurately. You just need to be able to swim 400m non stop as a starting point. Additionally, open water swim sessions will be introduced halfway through the plan and these prepare you for the race environment. Essential gear needed for the pool swims includes a pull buoy, fins, and paddles.

On the biking front, the plan capitalises on your strength, offering 3-4 bike sessions per week. Whether you prefer outdoor rides or turbo sessions, the plan accommodates both. You'll tackle specific race pacing for the bike, honing in on the speeds you'll need to maintain for success. Furthermore, brick sessions transitioning from swim to bike will ensure seamless transitions on race day.

Incorporating strength training into your routine is crucial for building cycling power and preventing injuries. That's why the plan includes 2 strength sessions per week all with video instruction for the exercises, strategically integrated to complement your swim and bike workouts.

With time trials of varying distances added on your recovery weeks, you'll have ample opportunities to gauge your progress and fine-tune your race strategy and position.

In summary, my aquabike middle distance race plan is meticulously crafted to elevate your performance and prepare you for the challenges ahead. Whether you're aiming to conquer your first aquabike race or seeking to improve upon past performances, this plan will help you succeed.
