Plan Description

SPRINT DISTANCE SWIM CSSmodular | [16WK]

ABILITY: AGE GROUP   TRAINING METRIC: CRITICAL SWIM SPEED (CSS)

THIS 16 WEEK PLAN

Is the swim only module for Sprint distance multisport. It combines perfectly with racestronger®CUSTOM run/bike modules whose individual ability you choose, creating a bespoke programme that trains to your individual strengths in each discipline. See 'Custom Modular' below

ABILITY

'AGE GROUP' ability means you are a highly competitive swimmer and are amongst the first out the water in your AG wave, probably with a good time gap on your peers. It's likely that you have qualified or can qualify for multisport AG World/European/National Champs

Targeting a non wetsuit 750 swim between 11-13min. [1:28 to1:44 per 100]

EQUIPMENT

Requires a Finis Tempo Trainer Pro, a small metronome worn under cap. Pull buoy. Occasional other. Prefer pool clock / smart device? Change training metric to ThrPace here

CONTENT

Av 5K+ over 3 workouts/week

Fresh, different, race-proven and current. Many sessions pro derived. All swim tests and workout pacing included. We follow strong before long, and fast before far principles. With just 16 weeks to go, you must have good base water fitness. Weekdays see speedwork, threshold intervals and pacing practice. Weekends feature longer easier swims to build endurance coupled with race efforts. Plan includes race simulations, open water workouts, one week taper, flexible race week schedule download, full swim S&C and free access to the world's most comprehensive racing and training content. Technique masterclass here!

PERSONALISED & PROVEN

Training zones and race intensity are taken from week one's CSS test repeated later in the programme. Distances and interval rests get more challenging the higher the plan ability level but are still appropriate for your chosen race distance. All workouts have built-in progression challenge - they get tougher as you get more race-fit

CUSTOM MODULAR

You’re probably not equally strong across all multisport disciplines. Most one-ability plans don't adjust for this - you crush some workouts, others are a struggle. Asymmetric training across disciplines means lost performance gains. For you, the uncommon athlete chasing minutes and seconds on your race PB / PR, it's time to train different!

racestronger®CUSTOM single-discipline modules allow you to finesse each of your individual disciplines by ability level intensity and training metric and combine into one-fit-for-purpose plan. They integrate together seamlessly to create a perfectly weighted 'no compromise' endurance training programme designed by you, for you. Create yours here
