Sunday Smart-Trainer Session: Seated, Standing Cadence Mix
Preparing your body for the intensity that will be replicated and sustained during an event is an important part of training. This session is great for triathletes, road cyclists, and can also be beneficial for mountain bikers, especially for events that are about an hour in duration such as a 40km Time Trial or the bike leg of an Olympic Distance Triathlon.

Saturday Swim Session: Debs’ Triple 3’s
Breaking longer swims up into segments is a great way to add speed, whilst building stamina or endurance into a workout. This session was described to me by Debs Lynch a few years ago whilst she was in the New Zealand High Performance Triathlon Squad, as one of her favourites. This session is good for triathletes, as well as open water swimmers.
