Plan Description
Research suggests that between 70-90% of runners will get injured each year. This statistic is slightly less for triathletes due to the cross-training nature. However, injury is still very prevalent. Therefore, the main goal of this training program is to provide you the opportunity to participate in the sport you love while minimizing your risk for injury. Thankfully the effort you put into injury prevention strategies is the same focus that will provide you with greater speed and power. Thus, participation in this training program is a win-win to foster optimal performance. Injury be gone!
IS THIS TRAINING PROGRAM FOR YOU?
Designed for the advanced half distance triathlete, here are the specifics of the 20-week training program:
· Progression through four build cycles and one race specific cycle, all followed by a recovery week. 7.25 hours (minimum) to 15.5 hours (maximum) time requirement per week prior to tapering and racing.
· Each week typically consists of 2-3 swim workouts, 2-3 bike workouts, 3-4 run workouts and at least 2 strength training workouts. One day per week, Friday, during recovery weeks and up to 1-2 times per build cycle is designated as a day off. However, this rest day can be flexible as your schedule requires and guidance is offered to adjust for this need.
· Injury prevention strategies are built into the workouts each day/week. Other training tools complement these workouts to minimize risk for injury and put the athlete in the position for greater speed and power.
