Plan Description

Congratulations on completing your Full Distance Triathlon Race!

Now is the time to rest, reflect and recover

You’ll experience most tiredness in the first 48 hours after your race, so there is no benefit to training during this period while your muscles are sore and your body is tired. The best recovery straight after a race is total rest.

This is a 3 week structured plan of race recovery to allow your body to rebuild after your race day effort and help avoid injury or over training.

After the first 48 hours (or more) of acute fatigue, you’ll start to feel more normal. But not quite fresh enough to resume full blown training. During this phase you’ll experience a less intense, but longer lasting kind of fatigue. And it’s better to train at a low intensity until you’re fully recovered. This helps you stay fit AND recover from your race. If you train too hard during this phase you’ll only increase your recovery time.

Typical Recovery Time: 21 days plus.

The plan includes:

- Guide on the best ways to recover including what to eat
- Swim, bike and run recovery sessions
- Stretching, meditation and Heart Rate Variability

Yoga & Pilates
