Details

With cycling as a common foundation across all OS Training Teams, you may choose to also focus on swimming or running.  A two-sport focus allows for much higher quality for the key workout sessions each week.  The "Bike+Run" plan offers optional swim workouts, and the "Swim+Bike" plan offers optional run workouts.

 

Each plan contains main set options for 2 levels of difficulty.  This allows you to customize your training by increasing and decreasing the challenge as you feel necessary on any given day.

 

Just choose the plan and starting date, load it into your TrainingPeaks calendar, jump in the Ning forums and go!  There is even a 4-week pre-conditioning program available to help with the transition from extended rest into a high intensity program. Contact Coach Matt for assistance with figuring out your optimal program.
