The annual training program is 18 weeks long and consists of the following stages:
- Base Building - Six weeks focused on aerobic conditioning
- Build 1 - Four weeks focused on building your strength and endurance
- Build 2 - Four weeks focused on increasing intensity
- Peak - Three weeks focused on maintaining endurance and intensity
- Taper - One week of light training and rest
A sample weekly workout schedule is in the first week of March of the Y-Tri Google Calendar below. (Yes, all times are a.m.!) The
training program divides athletes into separate swim and run/bike groups based on swimming and running times. Attending one or two
additional "open" stretching or spinning sessions at the Y is encouraged throughout the training program. Remember to include a
recovery day to give your mind and body ample rest.
