16 Week STANDARD BEGINNER TRIATHLON TRAINING PLAN RG Active – 16 Week Olympic Distance Triathlon Plan – Page 1 16 Week [email protected] STANDARD BEGINNER TRIATHLON TRAINING PLANwww.rgactive.com RG Active – 16 Week Olympic Distance Triathlon Plan – Page 2 Key Notes Please find below a 16 week ‘complete’ standard/Olympic distance triathlon training plan to help you prepare for your event. This 16 week training plan is designed to get a beginner triathlete through a standard distance triathlon. It is not a complex or hugely time consuming programme, it will get you to the finish line in good shape. In order to be able complete the training you should have a reasonable level of fitness at the start of the training. A pre-requisite would be that you can swim 800m continuously, you can cycle for 60mins and run for 30mins. The training sessions can be completed in a number of locations. The swim sessions are mostly designed for a pool, with open water sessions towards the latter half of the program. The bike sessions could be done either outdoors or indoors, the same goes for the running sessions. 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. We also would strongly advise that while most of the swim sessions in this programme are pool oriented you should be looking to get some Open Water swimming done in preparation for your race. All novice triathletes benefit greatly from getting the experience of what it is actually like to swim in open water with other swimmers. It is arguably the most daunting part of the race for all triathletes. The intensity of the training in this programme is to be executed using the RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) scale, this allows the athlete to work to their limits with specific barriers. We would advise that if this kind of training is new to you that you are cautious to begin with until you can understand how your body reacts to the training. The full RPE scale is at the back of the programme. If some of the distances earlier in the program are much further than you’re currently doing for a given discipline; complete as much as you can comfortable. Do try to complete sessions where possible, pacing yourself to do so, taking breaks on rides, or adding a walk/run element into run sessions if you struggle here. We would strongly advise that as you get closer to the race day you ensure that you train using the exact equipment that you intend to use on race day, the same clothes, the same wetsuit, the same bike and trainers. You should not turn up on race day with brand new equipment to use. From time to time your busy lives will get in the way, we recommend that you don’t make up the missed sessions simply resume your plan on the current day. Similarly, the particular days the various sessions are laid out on are an example of a suitable/ideal way to spread them out. However, you may change them to suit your own timings or around existing club sessions that you may already attend. So long as you allow sufficient recovery between longer sessions, or the same discipline. At the back of this training plan is the ‘Appendix’ where you will find the RPE scale, swim sessions and strength and conditioning programs that are referenced throughout the plan.

Six international competitions over the last five years were analysed retrospectively: Olympic Games, World Championships, and European Championships. The data corresponded to a total of 437 swimmers̕ competition histories (257 men, 180 women). A two-way analysis of variance (sex [2 levels: men, women], classification [3 levels: 1st to 3rd, 4th to 8th, 9th and below]) was performed for each split (0-2.5 km, 2.6-5.0 km, 5.1-7.5 km, and 7.6 to 10 km) and half (0-5 km, 5.1-10 km). The Bonferroni post-hoc test was used to compare means, and Pearson᾿s simple correlation coefficient to determine correlations between the split times and the final performance (total time).

  • Nutrition Considerations for Open-Water Swimming
    International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, 2014, 24, 373 -381 http://dx.doi.org/10.1123/ijsnem.2014-0018 © 2014 Human Kinetics, Inc. www.IJSNEM-Journal.com CONSENSUS STATEMENT Nutrition Considerations for Open-Water Swimming Gregory Shaw, Anu Koivisto, David Gerrard, and Louise M. Burke Open-water swimming (OWS) is a rapidly developing discipline. Events of 5–25 km are featured at FINA World Championships, and the international circuit includes races of 5–88 km. The Olympic OWS event, introduced in 2008, is contested over 10 km. Differing venues present changing environmental conditions, including water and ambient temperatures, humidity, solar radiation, and unpredictable tides. Furthermore, the duration of most OWS events (1–6 hr) creates unique physiological challenges to thermoregulation, hydration status, and muscle fuel stores. Current nutrition recommendations for open-water training and competition are either an extension of recommendations from pool swimming or are extrapolated from other athletic populations with similar physiological requirements. Competition nutrition should focus on optimizing prerace hydration and glycogen stores. Although swimmers should rely on self-supplied fuel and fluid sources for shorter events, for races of 10 km or greater, fluid and fuel replacement can occur from feeding pontoons when tactically appropriate. Over the longer races, feeding pontoons should be used to achieve desirable targets of up to 90 g/ hr of carbohydrates from multitransportable sources. Exposure to variable water and ambient temperatures will play a significant role in determining race nutrition strategies. For example, in extreme environments, thermo- regulation may be assisted by manipulating the temperature of the ingested fluids.

  • Ultramarathons
    Name Date Ultramarathons A marathon is a long-distance running event. A marathon is officially 26.2 miles long. When a running event is longer than 26.2 miles, it is called an ultramarathon. Over 70,000 people complete ultramarathons every year. There are two kinds of ultramarathons. In the first kind of ultramarathon, runners have to cover a specific distance—50 miles, for example. In the second kind of ultramarathon, runners have a limited amount of time, such as 24 hours, to cover as much distance as they can. Some ultramarathons are run as loops around a track or course. Others are run on trails through forests, deserts, or mountains. Many ultramarathons that are run on trails include natural obstacles that a runner will have to overcome, such as rocky paths or bad weather. Ultramarathons are run all over the world. There is an ultramarathon on every continent, even Antarctica. Because it is so expensive to travel to Antarctica, those who want to participate in an Antarctic ultramarathon usually have to pay many thousands of dollars. The most famous race across Antarctica is called The Last Desert Race. Runners pay over $14,000 to compete in this race. They must also buy special equipment to protect themselves against the extreme cold. People who want to train to run in an ultramarathon should first gain experience running regular marathons. Once you have completed a few marathons, you can add more and more distance every time you run. Besides practicing, there are a few other things you can do to help you prepare to run an ultramarathon.
