THE SPECIFICS 
The first 3 weeks are about sport specific skills This is a low intensity training phase allowing you to get stronger gradually and to avoid injuries further into the season. It is also meant to help you be consistent in your workout – allowing you to adapt your training program into your lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended workout allocations as this will only cause you to burn out or get injured as our training intensities and distances increases.

The next 3 weeks are about  endurance building. This training phase will emphasize on training longer increasing your mileage. You will be establishing your race pace in this stage. Long bike rides, long runs, open water swims, sport-specific speed training.  Lots of time and lots of effort!  This is also a lot of fun because on these long rides, runs, and swims you learn a lot about yourself and your goals.  It helps you to learn how strong you really can be!  YOU CAN DO IT! 

The final 4 weeks are all about keeping that endurance building going, but adding the sport-specific speed elements. Competitive Stage: This is the most important stage of your Distance training. This is the phase where race preparation begins. Your longest training days will be in this phase. Expect several 2-a-day workouts.  This is the time when you figure out YOUR pace and finalize YOUR race goals.  It will be hard, fun, and may even push your limits!  During this 4 weeks period plan to spend a lot of time focusing on your race - try not to make vacation plans or other big events if possible.  It is only a few weeks and will make a lot of difference in your overall training program if you can devote this time to the one thing you love.

You will receive your training program every week via TrainingPeaks and you will be added to our secret Facebook group. You will be able to vote to decide what dates the team wants to meet for practice. Generally the Team meets on Friday eve or Saturday am. Note that within the 3 cycles you will have periodization as well (ex. build weeks and recovery weeks). The weeks all work together within the cycle, if you need to make major adjustments, let's chat about it.

We will participate in various events before the "A" race. These are only for practice and not for time - we will talk more about that within the training, but in the plan you will not see taper and rest for these events, they are a part of your training! We will send a note about some races we propose to complete as a team.
