Bringing it all together into a weekly training schedule for the three disciplines.

We typically structure our training week along the principles of:

• Alternating run days and bike days to aid recovery and help avoid injuries.
• Swim training is then done as a second session of the day but ideally not on consecutive days. 

Rest.   Monday is a rest day. Do not underestimate the value of this rest day in your overall plans and training schedule. 

Run.   Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings are the Run days. Use Saturday as the “long slow run” and the other days as “quality” for one and “easy” for the other. 

Bike.   Wednesday, Friday and Sunday mornings are Bike days. Use Sunday as the “long slow ride” and the other days as “hard” for one and “steady tempo” for the other.

Swim.  Tuesday, Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoon. Use Saturday as the event distance/open water swim and "drill training" on the other days.
