Our Training Schedule

The training schedule is given in a Monday through Sunday format with Mondays off. It goes for twelve weeks, beginning TODAY and includes two recovery weeks and a taper week leading up to the race on Sunday September 7th. This schedule is not intended to be set in stone, obviously, but to be used as a guideline.

If you work a 24 hour car or have classes all day, swimming may not be an option for you on those days. Instead, juggle your workouts to suit your needs. For example, I will be using Sunday as my recovery day and so I will swim Monday and so on.

Traditionally, workouts repeat in a swim-bike-run pattern since that is how the races proceed. Plus, a swim workout the day after a hard run is pretty nice. But, there is no reason why you have to always stick to that order if it doesn't work for you.

The most important thing when training for any event is CONSISTENCY, and to be consistent you must have a schedule that works for you, and that you enjoy.

Here is the training schedule, and it can also be found on the right under FYI.
