๐ง FAQ - Triathlon & Trail Training Sessions (beginner to advanced)
โ How should I structure my sessions between swimming, cycling, running and trail?
Alternate 2 sessions per discipline per week, adding 1 โbrickโ session (bike + run), and consider 1 specific trail session if possible, to work on technique and endurance on varied terrain.
โ Should I include strength / PPG sessions?
Yes, 1 to 2 functional strength sessions per week (core, hills, power pedaling, off-road exercises) prevent injury and strengthen muscles useful in tri and trail.
โ What is the recommended weekly duration for complete training?
Expect 6โ10h/week depending on your goals: 5โ7h for Sprint/Olympic, 8โ12h for Long Trail or Half, including swimming, cycling, running, trail, strength and recovery.
โ How can I manage progression and avoid burnout?
Follow a periodization in cycles of 3 weeks of load (+10โ15%) then 1 week of recovery. This helps gain endurance and power without risk of injury.
โ Are T1/T2 transitions important to work on?
Absolutely: working on transitions saves 1 to 2 minutes on a short format, by replicating these movements in training (e.g. removing wetsuit, putting on helmet after swimming).
โ Can I combine Triathlon and Trail in a single plan?
Yes: add 1 trail outing per week to get your muscles used to uneven ground, ideally in a base phase. Complement with classic swimming/cycling/running to maintain versatility.
