It’s that time of year when you can take a break from intensive duathlon training. But don’t pack away your gear just yet! This plan will give you structure to build base strength, mobility, and technique over the next 12 weeks ready for your next race training plan.

This 12-week maintenance program is designed for a duathlete who wants to maximise their chances of injury prevention & build powerful muscles across the two disciplines.

This plan is designed to work on your technique, strength, flexibility, mobility and stability to help avoid injuries when you start your race training plan.

Each session includes details of each exercises in a detailed session plan with links to videos showing how to perform each exercise.

What do you get in this plan?

- 2 Runs per week with Power and RPE targets for STRED, Garmin, Polar, Coros etc.
- 2 Bike sessions per week to work on technique and maintain endurance with Power and RPE for Zwift, Wahoo, Rouvy, Garmin, Coros etc
- Core Strength training and Mobility work
- How to use the plan documentation including video links on how to correctly execute the prescribed exercises
- Prompts on which day to do each session & why you are doing the certain exercises
- A progression of sessions over the 12 weeks to ensure you are increasing strength & flexibility

- A variety of types of exercises to work not only on strength but flexibility, mobility and stability.

The plan includes exercises that will improve your strength and flexibility with sessions that will pin point the muscles required for the bike, transition and run. The plan builds progressively over the 12 weeks.

The weekend runs can be trail runs and the weekend bike sessions could be mountain bike sessions to mix things up and have some fun!
