Brick

Monday Brick: Lance Watson’s Half-Ironman Brick B

A common error for Ironman 70.3 athletes is to race at a higher intensity than what they have trained at. This workout addresses that in a race simulation type session that then leads into a race pace run.

Sunday Smart-Trainer Session – Martin Gibala Intervals II

Doing repeated short bouts of exercise at very high intensity develops a number of physiological systems in the body. Predominantly it provides a great training stimulus for the neuromuscular system. Although not specific to endurance events, training the neuromuscular system can bring on your fitness very quickly and is still a massive benefit for endurance athletes especially early in the season or if you are unfit. This workout can be done by beginners or experienced cyclists alike because a max sprint is all about your level of effort and is likely to be different from another rider.

Swim Session

Saturday Swim Session – Longer Sets Provide Benefits

Stamina and Endurance are essential for a number of reasons. If you are a triathlete or open-water swimmer this is useful for the duration of your event. But more so if you are a Master’s Swimmer targeting a shorter pool-based event that provides the base fitness on which to build your speed as part of a periodised swimming plan. This session is great for master’s swimmers.

Fartlek

Friday Fartlek Run – Goater’s Hill Sequence E

Running in hills develops leg strength as well as the strength of the tendons and ligaments around the knee and ankle. Developing leg strength is important, as it makes for a more powerful contraction of the leg muscles to propel you forward faster. Including hills regularly, particularly early in your build-up will see great dividends in the improvement of your running. This workout is great to include early in your build-up to develop leg strength.
