Week 3 Triathlon Training

Monday: Brick Training--ride at or right above your AB on the bike or in spin for 30-45 minutes, then get off and try to run for 20-30 minutes (whatever time permits for you) at or right above your AB as well. If you are feeling great and want to push it a little (HR), go ahead but let me know what you do.

Tuesday: Swim as many laps as you can in a row, time permitting after warming up. You are not going for speed here, rather distance. If you have to stop after a certain #, fine, but rest and then see how many more you can do in a row, with a cooldown after. Core and weights if you can.

Wednesday: Same as Monday. If you did not pick up your intensity above AB on Monday, do it today, push it pretty good and let me know what HR you get to above your AB.

Thursday: Spin or bike for 45 min-1 hr doing some tempo work which a traditional spin class should do for you with the hills. Stay consistently around your AB then sprint to AT and hold for as long as you can, then back off and repeat. Core and weights if possible.

Friday: recovery swim. swim 3 easy laps and 1 fast 1 for a much time as you can before heading up to do core and weights, giving yourself enough time for these two things.

Saturday: your choice---probably a good day to get on the bike or swim, take sunday off, next week will be a down week with less intensity.
