Plan Description

One of the challenges of the winter months is staying fit with a focus without going too hard or too hard and burning out. Rest and rejuvenation is important in the 'off season', but having a foundation of fitness maintained during this months makes for a great start to the upcoming year! This program is intended to help you stay motivated, moving and ready to start training in earnest upon its completion.

The purpose of this 12 week plan is multifold;
-help you get back into training gradually
-help you maintain fitness while scaling back to refresh and rejuvenate over the winter months
-keeping a balance in each triathlon discipline (swim/bike/run) at a lower volume to keep the body fresh
-establish habits and routines that you’ll want to carry over into the new season / coming year
-build a foundation of strength via the scheduled strength workouts

This plan has one rest day, 2 swims, 2 bikes, 2 runs and 3 strength sessions each week.

Swims distances range from 1200 to 2500 yards
Bikes workouts durations range from 40 minutes to 90 minutes
Run workouts duration range from 40 to 75 minutes
Strength sessions range from 10 to 30 minutes based your preference on the day.

Key bike and run workouts are Zwift compatible and written according to % of threshold heart rate or for specific sessions % of FTP.
