Start the Season on the Front Foot!

You can't expect to be ready on race day if you don't put in the effort to be ready to race!

It really can't be any simpler than that. 

That's why we want to see all of you embrace the training spike at our Pre-Season camp and launch yourself into the racing season.

 
Pre-season camp means it's time to dust off the TT bikes, swap out your laces for elastics and have your trisuits on hand.  Our combo sessions will be in full swing, and camp weekend provides the perfect opportunity for race-specific training, including transitions, bricks, time trials and open water swimming.


Camp Details
When: September 8th - 10th
Where: Queenscliff YMCA
Who: All athletes are encouraged to attend
Why: Because everyone needs to train how they intend to race!

Cost: $600 - Includes all meals, accommodation and coaching for 2 nights, 3 days.

Building Strength & Endurance for Success

Welcome to the Strength and Endurance Phase of your training program! This phase marks the second step in our five-phase training cycle. This phase is designed to bolster your physical foundation, ensuring that your body is resilient, strong, and equipped to handle the rigours of triathlon training and racing. Here's why this phase matters:

Endurance Development

In triathlon, endurance is your backbone. This phase extends and enhances the endurance built in the initial base technique phase. Longer sessions in swimming, cycling, and running help improve your aerobic capacity, setting the stage for sustained performance during races.

Strength Development

A strong body is a resilient body. Strength training during this phase builds muscle strength, particularly in key areas like the core, legs, and upper body. This added strength improves efficiency and reduces the risk of injuries.

Aerobic Improvement

The combination of endurance training and strength work contributes to significant aerobic improvement. Your body becomes more efficient at utilising oxygen, which translates to better performance across all disciplines.

Technique Reinforcement

Strength and endurance training allows you to execute proper technique under fatigue. As you train longer and more intensely, maintaining solid technique becomes paramount, enhancing your efficiency and reducing wasted energy.

Injury Prevention

A strong body is less prone to injuries. By focusing on strength and endurance, you're reinforcing muscles, tendons, and ligaments, providing a protective buffer against common triathlon-related injuries.

Completing the Strength and Endurance Phase is essential before moving on to the subsequent phase—the Strength and Speed Phase. The foundation you establish now will directly impact your ability to handle the higher intensity and demands of speed work in the upcoming phase.

How to Embrace the Strength and Endurance Phase

Here are some tips to make the most of this phase and set yourself up for success:

1. Consistency is Key: Stay committed to your training plan and follow it diligently. Consistency yields the best results.
2. Balanced Nutrition: Fuel your body with a balanced diet rich in carbohydrates, protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients to support your training demands.
3. Recovery Matters: Adequate sleep, hydration, and recovery techniques are as important as your training sessions. Prioritise recovery to allow your body to adapt and grow stronger.
4. Consult Your Coach: Work closely with your coach to tailor the training plan to your individual needs and monitor your progress.
5. Stay Motivated: Visualise your goals, track your progress, and celebrate your achievements along the way.

Embrace the Strength and Endurance Phase as a critical steppingstone in your journey. The work you put in now will form the foundation for your peak performance in the racing season ahead. Keep pushing forward!

Countdown to Race Season!

It's easy to feel like you've got all the time in the world to prepare for your upcoming race. I mean, when you sign up, the event itself seems like a distant speck on the horizon. But let's get real for a moment and break it down. Because until you see the situation in black and white, you might not fully grasp that the clock is ticking faster than you think!

Waiting until the eleventh hour can spell trouble, leading to injuries, lacklustre performances, and stress levels off the charts that overshadow the thrill of the journey.

Time for you to set the wheels in motion now and train smarter, rather than racing against the clock.
