    You can just wake up each day, and make it up as you go. But if you really want to increase your chances of success, then you really want to make sure you’re following a well planned and structured training programme.
    However, without a coach, designing your own training plan for the entire season can be a little overwhelming. To help you out, we are going to break it all down, and give you some inside coaching tips.

    Do you stick to a training plan? Let us know in the comments below!

    • @lisapet160
      @lisapet160 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes. Having 3-4 training plans: running/skiing for cold season, cycling for warm, swimming for hot. Committing some overlaps by doing more than one discipline in a single week.

      @Global Triathlon Network, I am going to makes training plan with some help, but I don’t know how much rest I should have. I’m 14 and planning on doing a spring triathlon in June but I have volleyball and or soccer every Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Me and my dad have an indoor trainer and a local pool. Any tips?

      Yes, my coaches have me training about 5-6 times a week. Swimming, running, strength training, and biking. The variations change every week

    60 years old, college swimmer, did some sprint distances at mid life (40). Now the kids are gone, I make more money now than ever (that I could have used 20 years ago), and let's just say I named my bike Zoloft. I am exploring what it would take to complete an Ironman race. Complete, in my case, means more than survive. It simply means when I line up I am reasonably sure I can complete the race barring unforeseen events like crashes, mechanical issues, weather etc. So here goes. And thanks to the great people at GTN for breaking the process down into easy to digest segments. (Picture is 47 yoa so don't get too excited)

    A 10 day split is more suitable for normal people.
    3 x 10 day blocks and a 5 day recovery week.
    You would need a longer prep time for a race , however your training will be more consistent due to being able to move days around due to real world problems. In that 10 day block you can do a long bike and run with a brick session. Then add in your intense sessions and 3 swims . Also allows time for strength work. Everyone gets hung up on a weekly split .

    I have a training plan, created one by myself using "Triathlete's training bible" .My first 70.3 race is quite far away (in September), so now I have to do aerobic workouts mostly. But (unfortunately?) my love to cycling brakes this plan a bit, because local cycling races start just at the end of spring, which means anaerobic efforts a bit earlier..)

    Hi, thanks for your video! I think the city where you live and the kind of job you have, both of them change a lot you plans. A good tip is to use all the wasted moments of the day (for instance commuting to work...) not as a moment full of laziness but as an opportunity to train. For instance by running to the office! Same with the bike. It is important also to buy rollers to train at home during winter time. I am studying The triathlete's bible by Joe Friel and -unfortunately!!!- if you wanna do an IM (not the half) you have, during the phases Base and Build, to train for a big amount of hours (18 but even 22) pro week. Which sounds a lot but a good plan can help us to reach the goal!

  • @levbobrov1398
    @levbobrov1398 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    How would you incorporate daily bike commute into this plan? Mine is not long enough to be a good training session (10k), but roundtrip is long enough to be not exactly a "rest". I can, obviously make the commute longer, for a training session, but I can't make them shorter...

    Does anyone have any tips on how to get better on road cycling when living in a city with no rural roads around. I can’t go fast as I am always being stopped behind busses and there aren’t many cycle paths either. I’m also quite anxious due to the amount of cars on the road. How would you recommend improving .

    • @stephenmitchell2600
      @stephenmitchell2600 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you mean fitter/stronger on the bike, then indoor trainer and structured training on trainerroad or zwift. I do a lot of bike/run bricks from the indoor trainer to the treadmill. But if you mean bike handling skills, then I'm afraid you need ride!

    Great video. I also use training peaks and plan using the atp function. How do you increase the workload for 3 progressive weeks then a rest week if your already training with all the time you have available? Do you add and extra early morning run to get a bit more tss? Using the example in this video how can you add more tss? Thank you. Great work guys

    • @hisomeone8276
      @hisomeone8276 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      1-2 mile warmup, dynamic stretching, and 3-5 miles on an average day depending on where you're at rn. Pick one day a week to go a longer distance (if you normally go 3 miles go 4 or 5, if you normally do 5 go 7 etc.). Pick another day for interval training (ex. 4 half miles at 3 minutes each). And of course you're gonna wanna alternate between swimming, biking, and running week by week, day by day, or even in the same day depending on how much time you have.

    • @THX-wc2jo
      @THX-wc2jo 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@hisomeone8276 Hi thanks - yes that's pretty much what I'm doing - 2X runs per week, 2X swims, 1 Cycle. If I'm feeling motivated a brick cycle+run so I get 2X cycle per week. And one day weight training. So 5-6 days per week. But I'd love a specific breakdown with precise workouts! ie. 'Here's a 12-week training plan for Olympic distance triathlon' GTN help us! :)

  • @paulcartridge845
    @paulcartridge845 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am following the trainerroad program for Olympic distance. It gives you 3 options, low volume, mid volume and high volume depending on your available time and how fast you can recover. I chose the mid volume as I am now over 50 so need a bit more recovery. This saves me from designing the plan and it adjusts with your ftp. It was only $129 or about £2 per week which I think is good value. I can't afford £50 per month for a coach😓.

    • @markthrelfall3577
      @markthrelfall3577 5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Normally between 3-4, and then a recovery week. So 4 good weeks of training, followed by an easier one. Obviously it really does vary from athlete to athlete, but it's a common method

    • @HughesElites
      @HughesElites 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Contrary to popular belief, the pro's are human too ;) They need to "rest" just as much as we do, even if resting for them is (ie.) an easy 10 mile run. It's all relative to the adapted training load
