16 Week Training Plan for athletes looking to complete a Sprint up to a Standard Distance Triathlon.
This programme encompasses a build phase to improve and develop an athlete's sport focused fitness across the first 8 weeks, followed by a period at peak training and a taper in the final couple of weeks leading to an event.
The plan also incorporates strength training sessions within the week to improve the power generated by an athlete, alongside sprint and interval training elements.
There are two rest days across the week, enabling a person to schedule fatigue recovery phases, particularly around higher intensity and strength efforts, and ensure the training continues to progress and not plateau.
An athlete will require access to a gym, or lifting equipment. Where this isn't directly available, substitution of filled jugs/buckets can be used to simulate equivalent weights, or bodyweight alternatives can be sought. If in doubt, please get in touch for suggestions.
This programme also works for those limited on time due to work or scheduling commitments, with the higher intensity run and cycle sessions able to be withdrawn in order to better suit an athlete's timetable. The weekend long strength session can be reduced to the short 25 minute session as well should people struggle to complete the full course.
