Base Training: Principles to Live by

Training Phases:
Base Phase 1-2: Basal Fitness
Build Phase 1-2: Strength & Speed w/ small base emphasis
Peak: Speed and Taper

*Note: Articles on each of these will be posted in the blog

Base training:
1. Heartrate training.... (Keep your heartrate low: run: 130-140bmp - bike: 140-150bpm)
2. Don't worry about speed or strength yet.
3. I do believe in 1 strength training per week on your legs
4. Swimming hits overall cardiovascular base and is strongly encouraged


5. Keep cadence at 85-95 in bike and run
6. Keep hydrated
7. Listen to your body
8. Base training for about 4 weeks but in two weeks we will start some slight build phase
9. Get rest .... It helps with recovery.
10: Nutrition is critical - eating enough good calories is important to building muscles and to loosing fat.

Build Phase: Coming soon....
