Training for Duathlon racing is similar to that of triathon in its
multi-discipline speed/endurance training focus. With both sports
being run under the same world governing body ITU, the sports have
been inevitably linked side by side since the beginning. Over the
last couple of years Duathlon has really stepped out of the shadow
of triathlon and is now receiving a lot of media attention and focus
from potential sponsors as well as increased prize money for both
men and women.
Because of the large amounts of training required to compete in
multi-discipline sport, it has to be done correctly if you are to
get the most out of what you put in. There is no point going out day
after day and doing the same old thing! Training should be well
planned and progressive remembering that “it’s not the miles you do
but how you do the miles” that counts in the long run.
The static coaching programs that have so often been used in the
past are out dated because they do not allow the flexibility
required to be successfully implemented by the athlete. If there is
any problems in the build up such as injuries or other setbacks, you
are unable to adjust the program to suit, therefore the whole
program becomes obsolete, costing you both time and money.
All SportZcoach Duathlon Programs are designed to deal with this
required program flexibility. Once you have decided on your major
event and possible build-up events, we will develop a Periodisation
Plan that shows you how much Cycling & Running you will be doing
each week of your build-up - included will be any race specific
training needed to perform over a particular course. We will also
plan your speed phases into your program as well as your taper.
Our new internet based system allows for all your information to be
stored online. All of your short and long term plans, training diary
and race/training statistics will be stored within your area so both
you and your coach can have easy access to your information, you
will also be able to leave notes for you coach as well as you coach
being able to leave notes and additional training information for
you. Only you and your coach will be able to access the information
and is protected by a log in pass word.
This new online system will allow us to monitor your training more
closely meaning it will be easier for us know what works best for
you and your training. In this way we will be able to constantly
improve your program based on your feedback thus tailoring you
program more closely to your needs and in the process will be able
to build a repour with you on a one to one basis and guide you
towards achieving your triathlon sporting goals.
Duathlon Training Plan Options
All programs are designed specifically for the individual and are
therefore unique in there design. As athletes we all have individual
strengths and weaknesses, some are strong cyclists while other may
prefer the run leg. Athletes also range in ability from novices just
starting out in the sport through to others who are competing at an
elite international level. Due to these large variations in athlete
abilities and therefore coaching needs it becomes difficult to come
up with a one size fits all pricing plan.
At sportZcoach.com we believe that individual programs require
individual pricing structures so that you get the best value for
money. If you are interested in the best possible coaching programs
