Super-Sprint Triathlon Training Program - Part 6

You are getting closer and closer to being ready to achieve your goal of getting to the start line of your first super-sprint distance triathlon! Let's see what experienced trainer Aitzi Santos has in store for you in Part 6 of the training program!

The big day is finally here! We are excited for you guys and can't wait to see you on the starting line - and of course crossing that finish line!

Before starting with this week's training sessions, let’s explain some things, so you won’t have any doubts about it. There is a change in these last swimming sessions - now you have to swim without stopping! So forget about those sessions where we trained technique, just swim and swim, and do not stop swimming! This is a great way to be able to check how you are going, by seeing how long it takes you to swim 500 metres. Then you will have a reference point to start improving on.

On the other hand, the running sessions are changing and we're increasing the run time this week. Don’t be scared, you've done the training so it's just a natural progession - it’s easy!

Explanation:
3x 6’ ( 5 ' (13-14 )1' (17-18) ) + 2' ( 13-14 )  

This means you have to repeat 3 times every sequence:
Aiming for a 13 or 14 effort in the Borg Scale you have to run 5 minutes, followed by another minute with a 17 or 18 effort in the Borg Scale. After three sets, just keep running slowly for two minutes.
Remember, before the sessions, warm up!

Here are the next 2 weeks training sessions. You have almost reached your goal!

WEEK 11

 

WEEK 12

 

Finally, I would like to help you to add some new stretches in to your stretch time,  so check out the photos below so you can see how to do these. Remember to hold each stretch for 20-30 seconds.

 

When you finish your session you can check how it has gone, if you feel like it has been successful or not, but also remember to always focus on the positives of the training session. Even if it hasn’t been your best one, you have decided to work out, instead of sitting on the sofa and just that is a success!

Aitzi

How to measure yourself

For best results, take your measurements with no clothing on

Place the measuring tape over the widest part of your chest.

Hold one end of the measuring tape in place and circle your chest, keeping the tape straight, until the tape reaches your starting point.

Get a book, a hand mirror and a pencil.

Take off your shoes and anything you wear on your head.

Look for a level surface to stand on with a smooth wall behind you.

Stand in front of the wall with your feet together.

Balance the book on your head and press it against the wall. Use the mirror to check that it is in a horizontal position and well centered. Mark the position of the top of your head on the wall with pencil.

Once the mark is made, step away and use a measuring tape to measure the distance from the ground to the mark you just made with pencil.

Step on the scale, without clothes or accessories, and write down your weight.
