Welcome to the next instalment of your exclusive year-long training plan. This follows on from the previous 12-week programme but, alternatively, can be used as your starting point for the winter’s training.
Ideally you’ll use this programme from the start of November to the new year, when you should begin the third instalment. Again, if you don’t follow this to the letter, it’s no problem. To recap from part one, the plan is aimed at sprint- and Olympic-distance athletes with training hours at around 4-6hrs per week.
This plan works in conjunction with 220 Triathlon magazine, with many of the sessions listed here explained in greater detail in Beer’s Masterclass, which is featured monthly in the mag. A few pointers… If you miss a session, don’t panic and try to cram in as much as possible on a separate occasion.
Instead, ensure that you replace missed sessions with ones that you’re weaker in. Also, note that swims exclude 400m warm-up and 200m cool-down.
Happy training and, for reference, the next 12-week block will be available online on Tuesday 14 December.
