After lifting weights, putting on some muscle, and taking a breaking from endurance training the time came to get back in pool, on the bike, and in my running shoes. As February rolled around, my triathlete peers suddenly jumped out of winter hibernation and start talking about group rides, swim workouts, and other triathlon related events. My energy and motivation were high as I promised myself I would train hard in order to be prepared for some early season races.
Last year at this same time in season my motivation for triathlon was low and when the opportunity to do the famous Wildflower triathlon appeared I jumped in, only to be disappointed by a bad race. I knew if I didn't want to make the same mistake I would need to start training and racing early in the season.
Here is my what training plan looked like:
TRAINING LENGTH: January 5th- May 1st (14 weeks)
GOALS:
Improve splits at the "Up The Crooked" Duathlon
Smash my previous performance at Wildflower
Enjoy the overall process of being a triathlete
OBJECTIVES:
NEVER MISS A WORKOUT
Stay injury free by practicing mobility and range of motion daily
Dial in bike fit
Follow a periodized training program
WEEKLY PLAN:
Monday: Swim
Tuesday: Swim/ Run session
Wednesday: Bike Intervals w/ DMC
Thursday: Swim/ Run Session
Friday: Long Bike Session
Saturday: Run-Bike-Run Session
Sunday: Easy Bike ride
Conclusion:
As I write this post my races are completed and everything went as planned! I never missed a workout, stuck to my objectives, and met all my goals. Stay tuned for race reports and future plans!
