Warm up for 5-10 minutes with some easy swimming, drills, and kicking to get loose.
Athletes with no swim background or who do not feel confident in their swim will use the following test set:
5x100 with 10 seconds rest in between each
Rest for 1 min
5x100 with 10 seconds rest in between each

Athletes who have a swim background or who feel confindent in their swim will do the following:
10x100 with 10 seconds rest in between each

After the test sets cool down for 5-10 minutes easy.

Both groups should record the times for each 100 and then average them to come up with your Training Pace (T-Pace) which will be the benchmark for all subsiquent swim training.

This test is designed to find your Lactate Threshold (LT) for the bike. We will use the data from this test to set your HR Zones.

This test will determine your approximate Lactate Threshold for the Run.

Base Bike is the groundwork for all subsequent training. If you do not build a good aerobic base you can sabotage your higher intensity training later in the season. Base bike means lighter gears & higher cadence 85-95 rpm. This will lead to lower resting hr, development of capillaries, and strength gains in slow twitch fibers. We will progressively increase volume of base bike. Hr is slightly lower than endurance bike (EB), the next phase of aerobic training. The light stress load of base bike is a good compliment to strength training.

Base Run: Improve aerobic development. Base runs length can be progressed by 5-10% per week. This should be a moderate work out and should not stress you aerobically. Focus on form and staying relaxed. Can be performed on a treadmill. Base runs are the basis of all subsequent training, and are crucial for building the aerobic base necessary for hihger intensity training.
