Following requests from athletes, the coaching team at Masters of Tri has released a set of 16-week middle distance and long distance triathlon training plans.
The Masters of Tri plans are billed as being unique in a number of ways:
- Separate plans have been developed for the female and male triathlete, both working with the specific strengths and needs of each gender;
- The sessions and the mix of sessions acknowledges that triathlon is one sport, not three separate ones bolted together; and
- The sessions are simple and effective, focusing on exactly what is required.
Masters of Tri adds that each plan is 16 weeks long and addresses the needs of all endurance athletes: to build aerobic capacity along with sport specific strength for muscular endurance.
The Masters of Tri methodology has been proven with its coached athletes who have achieved multiple Kona, 70.3 World Championships and national age group world championship qualification. A release from Masters of Tri adds, ‘There is minimal need for extra equipment; no fancy gadgets, no drills or technique work.
Coach Martin Hill explained, “Our approach to coaching is to educate the athlete to be self-sufficient and to take responsibility for their training. We have provided a very comprehensive training plan guide to support the plans. This allows the athlete to simply manage their training from this information. Our aim is to develop a healthy athlete whose fitness and strength progressively improves towards their goal.”
There are currently four plans: a middle distance and a long distance plan for both female and male athletes that have been developed as completely stand-alone training plan packages.
The cost is the same: £125 for each full 16-week programme.
Working with athletes, from novice to professional, Masters of Tri aims to provide a unique training experience at its training camps on location in Spain and also venues in Europe and beyond. It has an international roster of coached triathletes, several qualifying for ITU, IM70.3 and IM World Championships.
