To help you maintain your fitness during a time of postponed triathlon races, we have created a 6-week maintenance plan to keep you motivated, fit and strong throughout the spring season. Within this 6-week plan, you will receive a variety of structured bike and run workouts and brick (bike/run) sessions, as well as strength and plank sessions. All strength and plank sessions include a YouTube video link for you to follow along with Marni during the assigned strength/plank workout (videos were created during the Trimarni 10-day spring challenge).
The strength/plank sessions include minimal equipment (ex. stretch cord, cans, stability ball, weights, stretch band). If you have access to open water, we have also included 2-3 weekly open water swim workouts for you. Otherwise, we have swim dryland workouts as a substitute for swimming.
We are confident you will enjoy this plan as it will keep you focused for your long-term goals and challenged with a variety of training sessions. Workouts can be done inside or outside, however we created the plan with the vision that most of your workouts will be performed indoors.
Plan overview:
- Average weekly training volume: 13.5 hours
- Average weekly “swim” training volume (dry land or open water): 2 hours
- Average weekly bike training volume: 5.5 hours
- Average weekly run training volume: 3.5 hours
- Average weekly strength/plank training volume: 2 hours
