This plan is designed to take you through the 12 weeks leading up to your Aquabike Middle Distance Race

1.9km Swim and 90km Bike

Your journey starts here & I will be there to guide you to the finish line of your Aquabike race. The plan includes bike, swim, row transition, nutrition & strength / conditioning sessions & guides. Some of the sessions will be in the session window & some will be downloadable PDF documents that you can download & take to the gym or wherever you train.

This is a 12 week plan so assumes you have been in maintenance mode & this is considered your base phase. This mean the first phase in the plan is general preparation.

I have set Monday as your rest day as there will be a long run or bike on the Sunday when most people have time to train longer & that means you have Monday to fully recover from this.

- Includes session Videos & session plans
- Bike Heart Rate training for Garmin, Zwift etc
- Running heart rate sessions
- Race and training tips
- S&C sessions to help prevent injury
- Yoga and Pilates sessions
- Indoor Rowing Sessions if you can't get to the pool
- Pool and open water swimming sessions

In order to be able to complete the training you should have a reasonable level of fitness at the start of the training. A pre-requisite would be that you can swim 1000m/y and cycle for 120 mins.
You should consult your doctor before embarking on any physical fitness training. For any of the sessions, especially the strength and conditioning sessions, if you are unsure of the exercises then seek the help and advice of a professional at your training venue.

The training sessions can be completed in a number of locations. The swim sessions are mostly designed for a pool, with open water sessions towards the latter half of the program. The bike sessions could be done either outdoors or indoors. We would strongly advise that you do spend as much time as possible training outdoors so that you get time training in similar conditions to those that you will be racing in.

We also would strongly advise that you do as much Open Water swimming as you can in preparation for your race. All triathletes benefit greatly from getting the experience of what it is actually like to swim in open water with other swimmers.

The intensity of the training in this programme is to be executed using Heart Rate (HR) Zones & Power, this allows you to work to your limits with specific barriers.
