Plan Description
24-week plan for Half Distance Triathlon to reflect your good run fitness but otherwise a weak base of fitness.
With your run being far more advanced there is no real "break-in period, just jumping into it with both feet.
The main focus of this training plan is to build Aerobic Fitness as well as increase Threshold speed and Stamina across all three disciplines.
There are 2 "Quality" sessions, 1 each on Bike and Run, per week with 2 sessions in the pool to build technique and fatigue resistance.
To accommodate your work schedule s the plan defines Monday as the Rest Day and has the longer workouts on the weekend.
The volume is not huge, weekly workouts are no more that 90 or so minutes long, but the weekend get long. We are over clocking the bike to develop a higher level of fitness and fatigue resistance. The reasons for this are:
1. Grater Bike fitness will help the run greatly
2. Brick runs will be performed at an energy expenditure level more consistent with a point deeper in the un on race day to equate mental and physical fatigue during training.
3. Long rides are the PERFECT OPPORTUNITY to practice your nutrition and hydration strategy.
