Plan Description

Welcome to Your Olympic Distance Aquabike Plan


This plan is designed to take you through the 12 weeks leading up to your Olympic Distance race (1500m Swim and 40km Bike.

This plan is based around an open water swim, undulating bike and beachfront run course and the sessions are tailored for this.

Welcome to your training plan! Your journey starts here and I will be there to guide you to the finish line of your Standard or Olympic distance Race.

The plan includes bike,swim, transition, nutrition and strength & conditioning sessions and guides. Some of the sessions will be in the session window and some will be downloadable PDF documents that you can download and take to the gym or wherever you train.

The plan includes:

- Heart Rate and RPE session targets for Garmin, Zwift, Smart Trainers etc
- Session videos and PDF session plan downloads
- Strength and Conditioning session to help you avoid injury from a NASM Certified Personal Trainer
- Stretching and Meditation to get you to the finish line in the best shape
- Race and training tips
- Email access to your coach

I have set Wednesday as your rest day so you can recover mid-week.

A pre-requisite would be that you can swim at least 800m continuously and you can cycle for 60 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 bike sessions could be done either outdoors or indoors. I have given options for pool and open water swimming. 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.

The intensity of the training in this programme is to be executed using RPE and/or Heart Rate (HR) Zones, this allows you to work to your limits with specific barriers. For the bike power targets have been included.

My name is Karen and I live in Southern Spain near the IRONMAN® Marbella 70.3 event where I coach and run Triathlon training camps all year round (ChiliTri). So, if you would like face to face coaching and come and check out the Marbella course please get in touch. Karen is an IRONMAN® Certified Coach and British Triathlon Federation Level 3 Coach. I also work as a Coach Educator & Assessor for the British Triathlon Federation, helping to develop the next generation of triathlon coaches in the UK.
Karen is also a Qualified Personal Trainer specialising in endurance athletes so all of the S & C sessions are tried and tested.

Good luck with your training and Olympic Distance Aquabike event!
