Polarised training is a model which means you will spend 80 per cent of your time training at a moderate intensity & 20 per cent at a high intensity. Polarised training plans generally out perform other training methods & help prevent injury.
In the specific phase, the weekend bike/run workouts are scheduled on the same day and should be done back to back as a "brick" session to simulate the demands of Full Distance racing.
On weekdays during the specific phase, bike and run workouts scheduled on the same day are optional bricks. These sessions are good opportunities to practice pacing and nutrition and to test out race equipment so that these things are familiar on race day.
In the general phase there are sessions in HR Zone 3 and above to develop speed, muscular endurance and aerobic capacity.
The plan has a recovery week ever four weeks with reduce volume and a rest day to enable your body to absorb the training.
