Salford Triathlon - Training Plan

One of the most successful aspects of our involvement in last year's triathlon was the willingness of staff to undertake training prior to the event.
Each person who requested a training plan was given an initial assessment questionnaire, which took into account;

  • The current level of fitness
  • Time available to train
  • The preferred activity
  • Any previous injury history.

Then we were then given a basic 4-week training plan and asked to keep a brief diary. The diary then provided the information needed to write the next 4-week plan.
