Saturday Swim Session: Tarp’s Torture

This session is also known as Drop-Off 100s. It starts off very aerobic but build more and more anaerobic as the session goes on and will develop your threshold swimming successfully. This is a great session for triathletes and open water swimmers to do to build their sustained speed.

Friday Fartlek Run: Greg McMillan’s Best 5k Workouts #3

Running at your VO2 Max will build your top end speed. This is a tough session and won’t always be able to be completed at the correct pace and may require a few attempts for you to achieve your goal. This is a great session for all runners and triathletes especially those running events between 5km & half marathon.

Wednesday Windtrainer Workout: Nate Wilson’s Threshold Climbing Work #3

When riding long climbs, maintaining threshold intensity with out big fluctuations is the way to go. The effort should be the maximum that you can sustain without dropping power from one effort to the next. Nate Wilson describes this as the gold standard of FTP work due to spending 60 minutes riding at threshold. This session is great for all cyclists including triathletes and mountain bikers.

Friday Fartlek Run: Zwift Academy Tri 2020 VO2max Booster

VO2 Max efforts help to build your engine. A bigger engine means you can be more efficient at lower intensities, leaving more in reserve to go faster. All runners (and triathletes) can benefit from this higher intensity of training, especially athletes with events from 10km out to a marathon.
