Advanced Triathlon Training Schedule

intermediate level

The final phase of our program for the Triathlon is power. Make sure you have completed Phases 1 and 2 on Stabilization and Strength prior to starting this phase. A total of 18 sessions in the first two phases (3 sessions per week for 6 weeks - 9 sessions stability and 9 sessions strength) is advisable; however, this is a guide only and will vary depending on the athletes and clients involved in the program. Our goal is to convert all of the previous work into maximum functional power and efficiency (speed + strength) in all three disciplines. The following program focuses on power production for the triathlon run.
