Question 1

What's the minimal amount of gear I need?

Accepted Answer

Goggles, swimmers, roadworthy bike, helmet & runners.

Question 2

What if I can't fit in all the sessions?

Accepted Answer

If you can't fit in all the sessions that is okay, just make sure you target the weekend brick sessions as a must-do. These are the key sessions that will give you the confidence to execute a successful race day. if you need to put two sessions in one day make sure there is a time gap of at least 6 hours between the sessions. And try not complete all the sessions over the weekend and have 5 days rest at the beginning of the week, try and space out the sessions as best as you can to avoid injuries.

Question 3

I already swim (or run/ride) what if the sessions are too easy for me?

Accepted Answer

If you are a confident swimmer and the program is to basic for you, double it and take this time to really focus on your technique and efficiency in the discipline and ‘perfect it’ - swimming is 80% technique.

Question 4

Do I have to start today?

Accepted Answer

When you sign up in training peaks you will be given the option to select the day you want to start the program.

Question 5

The race I've chosen is 8 weeks away (not 6). Can I start the program already?

Accepted Answer

Of course! You can start as soon as you like and repeat the end weeks. this just means you'll get a little bit extra training in before the big dance. Make use of the extra time to really instill the focus of each session.

I missed a session can I do it later?

Question 7

I really liked that session can I do it again?
