This week I had 2 events on, one was Waikato athletics where I completed in the 3,000m event and the other was my school triathlon. At Waikato athletics I had a early race so the weather was good while I ran, I went into this race knowing there was some strong competition who train in this type of event and distance.

Riding at or around your Threshold will bring up both your ability to sustain high-intensity effort (as well as your suffering). 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.

Kick Pull Swim (KPS) was often used regularly by my swim coach, Duncan Laing in the mid-1990s. I continue that tradition because it generates success by challenging different aspects of your stroke. This session is good for triathletes, as well as open-water swimmers.

Your VO2 max is a measure of the maximum amount of oxygen your body can utilise during exercise. If you increase your VO2 max, any run below that level is therefore easier (in theory). Spending time training at VO2 Max intensity will generate performance enhancements for runners of all distances but runners and triathlete running distances up to 10km will benefit the most.

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.

This week my time management skills have really been tested, I had a lot of extra activities this week making it difficult to fit in all my trainings planned, I managed to complete all my trainings during the week but did have to make some adjustments to fit it in with my schedule.
