This plan is written by British Triathlon High Performing Coach and L4 strength coach Simon Olney and will help you reduce the chance of injury, while also improving your performance on race day.
It is designed for someone who would consider themselves to have a reasonable level of fitness, but is relatively new to strength training.
This programme starts with learning the movements we are primarily focusing on in an anatomical adaptation phase for 12 weeks, followed by a max strength phase of eight weeks where we really unlock the benefits of strength training. Through these phases we will be training twice a week.
After we finish our max strength block we switch to training once a week in a strength maintenance block, where we go back to lighter weights for the most part, but include more race specific movements.
