Summary
Have fun this winter and stay in great shape (all in under an hour)!!!
This plan is structured to help triathletes maintain a higher level of fitness throughout the winter months. Participants will be expected to have access to a trainer, swimming pool, and ability to perform strength/core exercises.
The exciting part of this plan is each week will carry a specific goal to transfer that learning to your race season.
Some weeks will have recommended equipment necessary to perform exercises.
*Please note that Monday's are always a rest day, but you can adjust it as needed.
Sample Day 1
Goal of this week:
Establish a higher run cadence than you currently have. T3 Coaching is a believer in high stride rates. Throughout this week, challenges will be given to help you improve your stride rate. Good luck and keep track of your progress!
Sample Day 2
Go for a 20-30 minute run, counting stride rate every 5th minute. Record numbers for later reference. Perform on a flat road or track for accuracy.
Sample Day 3
A strider is very much a controlled sprint. The goal is to run very fast with relaxed technique and a fast turnover.
Perform a 30 minute run as:
5 mins of jogging...
From minute 5-6, perform a 100yard strider...walk for the remainder of the minute.
Repeat this cycle 5 times to get a full 30 minute workout.
Sample Day 4
Start off by jumping rope for 2 minutes (rest as needed)
Run 5 minutes...return to jump rope
Jump rope for 90 seconds, trying your best to improve your quickness
Run 5' easy
Jump rope for 60 secs, even faster
