Description
Get back in swimrun shape before tackling a serious race training plan with this 3-week pre-season training program designed by swimrun athlete and coach Nicolas Remires.
This training plan is made specifically to get you in shape before you start training for a race, or simply want to get some good swimrun training base.
What can you expect from your training plan?
This plan will help you to get active again after a break. It can also be your first step into swimrun. I suggest starting this training plan 4 months before your planned race.
The program is a succession of swimming and running sessions. They follow a progression that will guide you in (re)building your shape.
The training sessions are well-detailed and explained. Simply do them one at a time and feel how you get more and more fit. Add some cross-training during this period (cycling, skiing, climbing, …)
After these 3 weeks, you should be ready to start your 12-week preparation to your race.
Why would you need a training plan before starting training for a race?
Starting training after a break (short or long) can be a hard moment for some athletes. Even if the athletes are motivated to be active again, it is easy to do things in the wrong order. Too many athletes want to get back into training too early and too quickly. This can easily lead to injuries.
A training plan at this period of the preparation will help an athlete to go step-by-step by providing structure and comfort. It will teach the athlete to be patient to reach his/her optimal fitness level.
What is included in this swimrun training plan?
When you purchase your swimrun training plan, you receive a training sheet for each week, where each session is detailed and explained. You decide how you want to organize your week and plan your training. The only thing you have to do is to follow the session plan!
