Triathlon: Sprint & Olympic Distance TRIATHLON: SPRINT & OLYMPIC DISTANCE TRIATHLON: SPRINT & OLYMPIC DISTANCE By Mark Yeoman (Bsc) Mark is a qualifi ed Physical Education teacher and has represented Great Britain at the World Triathlon Championships three times! Q: WHAT IS A TRIATHLON AND HOW DOES A SPRINT VARY FROM AN OLYMPIC DISTANCE RACE? Triathlon is the fastest growing sport in the world. Introduced into the Athens Olympics in 2000, the sport has risen from strength to strength. It comprises of three popular activities, swimming, cycling and running which are combined back to back to form one event. Distances range from the sprint through to an Ironman which has replaced the marathon as the ultimate modern day physical challenge. Everyone can achieve and train for a triathlon as most gyms have a pool, stationary bike and running machine. As a result, it becomes a great motivational and physical goal to work towards as the three disciplines allow you to vary training and keep it fresh and interesting. Sprint and Olympic are the two most common distances. They cover different distances per discipline, those being: • SPRINT: 400 – 750m swim, 20km cycle & 5km run. • OLYMPIC: 1500m swim, 40km cycle & 10km run. Just in case you wanted to know how hard an Ironman is: • IRONMAN: 2.4 mile swim, 112 miles cycle & 26.2 mile run. It’s not called an Ironman for nothing, that’s why it’s known as the longest day! The elite will fi nish in just over 8 hours, with the rest happy with 14 hours. The following programmes will cater for the fi rst timer looking to race over the sprint distance and the individual who wishes to push themselves physically and mentally to race over the popular Olympic distance. • SPRINT: Triathlon programme will be based on an 8 week programme. • OLYMPIC: Triathlon programme will be based on a 12 week programme. 1 SPRINT DISTANCE TRIATHLON TRAINING PROGRAMME MON TUES WED THURS FRI SAT SUN Run 5 mile jog Swim 400m Cycle 1km x 8 Swim LSD Rest or 3 mile Cycle LSD Run LSD WEEK 1 + 5 x 1 min x 4 2km rest 50 mins jog 90 mins 60 mins efforts 1 min rest 2 min rest Cycle 30km Swim Cycle 3km x 4 Swim LSD then 50m x 5 + Run 400m x 8 2km easy Run 3 mile TT WEEK 2 Rest 60 lengths Run 2 mile 100 x 3 1.5 min rest cycle G.S.B jog 1 min rest rest Cycle 3 km Run LSD Rest or 3 mile Swim LSD then run Run 4 m @ Cycle LSD WEEK 3 Rest 60 mins jog 60 lengths 800m x 4 5km pace 90 mins Cycle 20km Swim 200m Run Hills Rest or 30 Cycle 5 mins Swim LSD then Run 2 WEEK 4 x 8 150m x 6. lengths swim x 5 10 lengths x 6 Rest mile fast 1 min rest 1 min rest 2.5 min rest 2 min rest FAST Swim Run 5 mile Cycle 3km x 5 50, 100, 150, jog Swim LSD Rest or 10km 2km Cycle LSD Run LSD 200 + 5 x 1 min 60 lengths WEEK 5 cycle easy cycle 90 mins 60 mins x 2 efforts rest 1 min rest 2 min rest Swim Swim LSD Cycle 35km Cycle 1km 50m x 5 + Rest or 10km Run 3 mile TT 10 lengths x 6 Run LSD then WEEK 6 x 10 100 x 4 cycles G.S.B 1 min rest 60 mins Run 2.5 mile 2km rest 1 min rest jog Run 5 mile Swim.Cycle. jog Cycle 30km Swim 400m Rest or 10 km Run 5 x 1000 Run + 5 x 1 min then WEEK 7 Rest x 4 cycle 3 min rest 200m efforts Run 2 mile 1 min rest 15km 3km 2 min rest jog Cycle 3km x 5 Swim 200m 2km easy Rest or 3 mile Run 4 m @ SPRINT WEEK 8 x 8 Rest cycle Rest jog 5km pace RACE 1 min rest Rest S = Swim B = Bike R = Run 400 – 750m SWIM 20KM BIKE 5KM RUN 2 OLYMPIC DISTANCE TRIATHLON TRAINING PROGRAMME MON TUES WED THURS FRI SAT SUN Run 5 mile jog Cycle 5 mins Swim LSD Rest or Run 3 mile TT + 5 x 1 min Run LSD Cycle LSD WEEK 1 x 5 10 lengths x 6 30 lengths G.S.B efforts 60 mins 90 mins 2.5 min rest 2 min rest swim 2 min rest Cycle 3km x 4 Run Hills Swim 400m Rest or 3 mile Swim LSD 2km Rest or Cycle LSD WEEK 2 150m x 6. x 4 jog 50 mins easy cycle 3 mile jog 90 mins 1 min rest 1 min rest Rest Swim Cycle 3km Cycle 35km Run 400m x 8 Rest or 10 km 50m x 5 + Run LSD WEEK 3 then run Rest then Run 1.5 min rest cycle 100 x 3 70 mins 800m x 4 2 mile jog 1 min rest Cycle 20km Swim LSD Run 4.5 mile Cycle then Run Rest or Cycle LSD Run LSD WEEK 4 10 lengths x 6 TT 1km x 8. 2 mile fast 3 mile jog 90 mins 60 mins 1 min rest G.S.B 2km easy FAST Swim Run 5 mile jog Cycle 1km Cycle 40km 200, 150, 100, Swim LSD + 5 x 1 min x 10 Run O & B Rest then Run WEEK 5 50 x 2. 60 lengths efforts 2km rest 30 mins out 2.5 mile jog 1 min rest 2 min rest Cycle 3km x 5 Swim 200m Run Hills 2km Run 4m @ Swim Run LSD Cycle LSD WEEK 6 x 12 150m x 8. easy cycle 5km pace 1500m TT 60 mins 90 mins 1 min rest 1 min rest Rest Swim Run 5 mile jog Swim.Cycle.

RUN TEST Known as the Cooper 12 minute run test, you should endeavour to perform this once every three weeks or so as it is designed to monitor your progress. Basically see how far you can run within 12 minutes and keep a record of the distance. The fi tter you become, the further you will go! O & B = OUT & BACK Run the set time or distance out in one direction, turn around and try to come back quicker. Conserve your energy on the way out to ensure your return run is a negative split – which means it was quicker than the outward run. INTERVALS These are designed to improve muscular speed so when you run at your desired race pace, your legs will operate more effi ciently. The rest in between efforts should be just under half the time it took to cover the set distance. HILLS These are designed to make your legs stronger and develop power so when you experience an increase in gradient, you don’t slow down and end up going backwards. Either locate a local hill which is around 100 – 200m long or set the incline on the running machine to 4%. TT = TIME TRIAL GOLD SILVER BRONZE (G.S.B) Set your self a target time to achieve the set distance. Look to win a medal for your time. GOLD is quicker, SILVER is your target time and BRONZE is slower than your target time. It’s amazing how this will motivate you to push harder. TEMPO This is where you run hard, but under control. This is normally slightly quicker that your goal race pace. You need to maintain focused to avoid stopping when the going gets tough. Show your body who’s in control! L.S.D = LONG SLOW DISTANCE This is your ‘getting back to basics’ session, normally performed at the weekend when you have more time to complete the run. The Long Slow Distance is designed to physiologically develop the body’s ability to sustain long periods of low intensity exercise.

  • 12-Week Sprint Training Plan for Newbie Triathletes
    INVEST IN YOUR HEALTH AND YOUR WEALTH 12-week Offi cial title sponsor of the Sprint training plan for newbie triathletes www.ajbell.co.uk Key notes Please fi nd below a 12-week ‘newbie’ standard Sprint distance triathlon training plan to help you prepare for your event. • This 12-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, but it will get you to the fi nish line in good shape. • In order to be able to complete the training you should have a reasonable level of fi tness at the start of the training. A prerequisite would be that you can swim 200m continuously, you can cycle for 30minss and run for 20minss. • The training sessions can be completed in a number of locations. The swim sessions are all designed for in a pool, 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 some time 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 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 benefi t 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.

  • Running Workout Descriptions Easy/Recovery Run: Purpose
    Running Workout Descriptions Easy/Recovery Run: Purpose: Easy runs are slow runs usually within 24 hours after a harder run to promote recovery, while maintaining or advancing our cardiovascular fitness and our body’s adaptation to running. They should be kept easy and likely between 90-120 seconds slower than your marathon pace. If you feel you need to go slower then by all means do so. You should be comfortable enough that you can carry on a conversation. Going easy gives you a mental break and allows you to relax while running. You want to be able to push harder on hard days so take it easy on recovery days. Tempo Run: Purpose: This is a great workout to stress both stamina and endurance as well as develop mental toughness. Tempo runs should be comfortably hard which means you are working relatively hard, but the pace is manageable for a fairly long time. The pace is usually an effort that you can only sustain for 60 minutes and around 80-90% of VO2 max. Start conservative and ease into it, then hold a nice steady effort and settle into a good rhythm. Intervals (VO2 Max Repeats): Purpose: To maximize aerobic power (VO2 max) to improve the amount of oxygen the body can deliver to the muscle cells by stressing the heart, lungs, and VO2 max. The actual workout may vary on how many intervals you perform. The pace ranges from 3 -5 minutes with a slow recovery jog between each one. This is a pace you can hold in an all effort for 11-15 minutes.

  • The Effects of Bicycle Geometry on Sprint Triathlon Running Performance Howard T Hurst 1* and Catherine Jones1
    J Sci Cycling. Vol. 5(3), 28-34 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The Effects of Bicycle Geometry on Sprint Triathlon Running Performance Howard T Hurst 1* and Catherine Jones1 Abstract Previous research has shown that riding with a steeper (81°) than normal (73°) bicycle seat tube angle (STA) can improve subsequent run performance during Olympic distance triathlon that involve a 1500 m swim, 40 km cycle and 10 km run. However, such races often utilise pacing strategies during the run phase that may have influenced previous findings. Conversely, Sprint distance triathlons (750 m swim, 20 km cycle and 5 km run) are generally performed at a higher intensity, both during the cycle and run legs. Few studies have focused on Sprint triathlons, therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect cycling with different STA’s had on subsequent sprint triathlon running performance. Ten trained amateur male triathletes (34.8 ± 10.9 years), completed two 20 km time trials on a cycle ergometer, one with a STA of 73° and one with a STA of 81°. Both conditions were followed immediately by a 5 km treadmill based running time trial and were completed as fast as possible. Time (min:s), heart rate (Beats.min-1), oxygen consumption (ml.kg.min-1) and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) were recorded for both run and cycle legs. Additionally, during the cycle leg, mean power output (W), mean cadence (rpm) and mean velocity (km.h-1) were recorded. For the run leg, velocity (m.s-1), stride length (SL, in m) and stride frequency (SF, in Hz) were additionally recorded.
