WORKOUT MENU
ENDURANCE WORKOUTS E2: Aerobic Development - Used for aerobic maintenance and endurance training. Workout can be done with a disciplined group, rollers or indoor trainer. Remai n seated on the uphill portions to build greater strength while maintaining a comfortably high cadence.
MUSCULAR ENDURANCE M1: Tempo Development - On a mostly flat course, rollers or indoor trainer, ride continually in the prescribed Zone without recovery at time-trial cadence. M2: Steady State Intervals - On your indoor trainer or rollers, complete prescribed workouts as sho wn in your plan. Stay relaxed and aerodynamic, and listen closely to your breathing while pedaling at time -trial cadence. M4: Threshold Development Ride 20 to 40 minutes nonstop. Stay relaxed and aerodynamic and listen closely and control your breathing throughout the entire workout.
ANAEROBIC ENDURANCE A1: High Tempo Group Rides Ride however you feel like riding. If you are tired, sit in or break off and ride by yourself. If you are fresh, ride as hard as you want several times during the ride. A2: Ladders Performed at max effort in succession. (1, 2, 3, 4 - 4, 3, 2, 1) = 1 set. The recovery after each minute should be equal to the preceding interval. For example, 1 minute on 1 minute off, 2 minutes on, 2 minutes off.
SWIM WORKOUTS Speed workouts - Do these workouts on Tuesday These workouts should include shorter swims with recovery in between but focusing on swimming fast (ex. 5 x 100s, then 10 x 50s) Endurance Do these workouts on Wednesdays, swim a straight 500, mixing whatever strok es in with your freestyle to finish, get your time, this will be your base for long workouts, as you build endurance this time should decrease (ex. 3 x 500 matching your base time each swim) Strength - these workouts include 'medium' distance swims (ex.4 x 200s with little recovery time in between), also mix in some other strokes and kicking. Try to include some stroke drill work in every workout.
STRENGTH WORK Weights are very important and most often overlooked for triathlon training. We need to keep our bones, tendons and joints strong! Strength training 2 times per week is great injury prevention. For your schedule, fit 2 days of strength anywhere in the program...just leave a day of 'no strength training' between them. Just make sure you still keep at least 1-2 days of 'total rest' per week.
