16 Week BEGINNER SPRINT TRIATHLON TRAINING PLAN RG Active – 16 Week Olympic Distance Triathlon Plan – Page 1 16 Week [email protected] BEGINNER SPRINT TRIATHLON TRAINING PLAN www.rgactive.com RG Active – 16 Week Olympic Distance Triathlon Plan – Page 2 Key Notes Please find below a 16 week beginner, sprint distance triathlon training plan to help you prepare for your event. This 16 week training plan is designed to get a novice triathlete through a sprint 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 400m continuously, you can cycle for 20 mins and run for 15 mins. 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.

Have you every experienced a “burning” sensation in your muscles on the bike? Have athletes ever claimed they could ‘keep going forever!’? All of these situations involve the use of energy in the body. Any activity the body performs requires work and work requires energy. A molecule called ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the “energy currency” of the body. ATP powers most cellular processes that require energy including muscle contraction required for sport performance. Where does ATP come from and how is it used? ATP is produced by the breakdown of fuel molecules—carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. During physical activity, three different processes work to split ATP molecules, which release energy for muscles to use in contraction, force production, and ultimately sport performance. These processes, or “energy systems”, act as pathways for the production of energy in sport. The intensity and duration of physical activity determines which pathway acts as the dominant fuel source.

  • A Parent's Guide to Cross-Country
    A Parent's Guide to Cross-Country What is cross-country? Cross-country is a team running sport that takes place in the fall on a measured 5000 meter (3.1 miles) High School course or 2 mile course for the Jr. High over varied surfaces and terrain. Our home course is located in City Park on the levee near Troy Memorial Stadium and Hobart Arena. How is cross-country scored? A cross-country meet is scored by adding up the places of the top 5 finishers for each team. As in golf, the low score wins. For example, a team that scores 26 points places ahead of a team that scores 29 points, as follows: Troy Piqua 1 2 4 3 5 7 6 8 10 9 Totals: 26 pts 29pts Troy Wins A team's 6th and 7th finishers can also figure in the scoring if they place ahead of other teams' top 5 finishers. When that is the case, they become "pushers" by pushing up their opponents' scores, as follows: Troy Piqua 2 1 3 4 6 5 8 7 9 (10)(11) 12 Totals: 28 pts 29 pts Troy Wins Only a team's 6th and 7th finishers can be pushers, regardless of how many of its runners may finish ahead of an opposing team's top 5 finishers. This is also known as displacing another team's scoring runner(s). This is why the 6th and 7th runners are just as important as the top 5. What happens in case of a scoring tie? If a tie in scoring occurs, then the team who has their 6th runner in first wins.

We tested the hypothesis that VO2max can be elicited in both the sprint and marathon distances and that the fraction of time spent at VO2max is not significantly different between distances. Methods: Seventy-eight well-trained males (mean [SD] age: 32 [13]; weight: 73 [9] kg; height: 1.80 [0.8] m) performed the University of Montreal Track Test using a portable respiratory gas sampling system to measure a baseline VO2max. Each participant ran one or two different distances (100 m, 200 m, 800 m, 1500 m, 3000 m, 10 km or marathon) in which they are specialists. Results: VO2max was elicited and sustained in all distances tested. The time limit (Tlim) at VO2max on a relative scale of the total time (Tlim at VO2max%Ttot) during the sprint, middle-distance, and 1500 m was not significantly different (p > 0.05).
