I’m not normally a stuffing person, but this stuffing was so flavoursome and brought out the flavours of the chicken.

Getting started in triathlon requires you to build confidence and capability running having been cycling. It is a skill where the body learns to adapt to the demands as it transitions physiologically (as well as mentally) from the cycling discipline to the running discipline. This workout is great for beginners, or triathletes with limited time to train.

Building your ability to sustain your threshold pace in a swim is an important capability for triathletes and open-water swimmers. These sessions further develop that ability by progressing your fitness by completing reps at a fast pace that you can sustain. This session will benefit triathletes of all distances, as well as other open-water swimmers.

Tempo is an intensity that means different things to different athletes and coaches. For me, I define Tempo as an effort comfortably below the Threshold pace. It is the sort of intensity that if you had to you could maintain for a duration longer than a half marathon. It is higher than the aerobic running pace, sort of in the mid-zone between the two levels. Spending more than 15-20 minutes at this intensity, helps the body practice clearing the small amount of lactic acid generated at this pace, without needing to slow down to do so. This is a perfect session for runners and triathletes running events up to full marathons and further.

Tempo is an intensity that means different things to different athletes and coaches. For me, I define Tempo as an effort comfortably below the Threshold pace. It is the sort of intensity that typically maintained during fast Ironman 70.3 events. It is higher than the aerobic effort of long steady workouts, sort of in the mid-zone between the aerobic and threshold efforts. Spending more than 15-20 minutes at this intensity, helps the body practice clearing the small amount of lactic acid generated at this pace, without needing to slow down to do so. This is a perfect session for triathletes competing in Ironman and Ironman 70.3 distance events.

I wanted a workout for an athlete of mine that tested their legs whilst fatigued. With only an hour available, I needed to get their fatigue levels relatively high, relatively qwikly prior to the set of threshold intervals. This is the a modification of what I developed. Although I used RAMP Test in the title for the workout, it’s not a true RAMP test and we restrict the maximum intensity to allow you the opportunity to complete the threshold intervals. This session is great for triathletes, and road cyclists. It 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.
