The training plans below utilise the club training sessions and are intended as a guide for those training for sprint or standard distance triathlon.

The pool swims are at our intermediate or advanced sessions on Monday and Friday evenings, while the bike sessions are at weekends so you can get out on your bike for a good hour or 90-minutes without interruption.

As for the running, there are two mid-week sessions – one fast and one easy. Try to include a brick session at the weekend, which involves cycling, immediately followed by some running. This helps you get used to the jelly-legs feeling you’ll experience on race day after you climb off your bike.

Lastly, make sure you listen to your body and if you feel excessively fatigued or sore, take two days off completely and then reassess before you resume any training.
