Plan Description
8 week plan perfect for athletes doing their first Olympic distance. It's also great for those coming back from a lower level of fitness or mature athletes.
This program is designed to be sustainable around work & children etc. Energise coaching provides easily achievable, sustainable training programs.
Plan is based on time for run/cycle and approximate time/distance for swimming therefore the plan doesn't reflect the total distance. The plan is characterised by a slow build in training commitment, followed by a 1 week taper. There is provision in the program for those that prefer a walk/run strategy.
There are instructions under the work outs to help with terminology and exercise descriptions.
