Projects.
What is included?
Optimal Warm-Ups
The perfect warm-up prepares your heart, muscles and mind for the session ahead.
Low-Intensity Aerobic Sessions
These are great for building efficiency and endurance and also allows you to practice technique without causing stress to the body.
Brick Workouts
Combining at least 2 of the disciplines in one training session. Prepares you for race day when you have that tough run off the bike. Mastering this will make your race day more seamless and that much more enjoyable.
Recovery Days
Without adequate recovery, your long- term improvement will be hindered. Days off and sleep is where the magic happens, during this time, your body recovers from what you have put it through and adapts to come out the other end a fitter athlete.
Swim Technique
Although swimming generally only equates to 10% of the race, it is still important to master. Swimming is all about being streamlined and effortlessly gliding across the surface of the water, so if you are a beginner or brushing up your skills, having the correct technique is beneficial.
Mental Preparation
We will guide you on how to deal with the mental demands of the race you have chosen, preparing you for race conditions like distance or environmental factors. For example, are you expecting a high-temperature race day? Developing a plan to include this is vital to achieve success at your upcoming race.

Six Week Program
You like the idea of doing a triathlon however you’re not sure if it’s for you.
Triathlon continues to be one of the fastest-growing participation sports in the world. Anyone can enter a triathlon but you do need some necessary skills which we can teach you!
It is a beautiful way to maintain a healthy lifestyle while meeting new people with similar interests. Our Intro Project is designed to cater for people of all backgrounds and abilities.
Whether you are a swimmer, cyclist, runner or new to all three disciplines, the intro project will equip you with the techniques, skills and knowledge to get a leg up into this addictive sport.
You will have access to experienced nationally accredited triathlon coaches over a 6-week program. It has been designed in a way that gives you full flexibility to complete the training sessions in your own time.
Every session includes videos with focal points, watch these at your leisure and, as many times as you want to help you grasp the concept. Each week there is a different technique to focus on to help you achieve:

Running more efficiently
Implementing these skills together into your race

The Lifestyle Project
Weekly Program
You are a person that wants to be fit, healthy and participate in events, without impacting their lifestyle.
Triathlon training does not have to be monotonous and infinite! Reducing training volume allows you the opportunity to address weaknesses, imbalances and avoid injuries. We encourage creativity and take advantage of being able to use time in training functionally. For example, when you have dropped the kids off and have 30 minutes spare, instead of hanging out at the coffee shop go for a 30min run.
Take advantage of the time you would usually sit in traffic and ride your bike to work one day a week completing a targeted interval workout.
Take the family for a run at the park, so you are still spending quality time together while modelling healthy lifestyles.
We work with you and your schedule to allocate intensity efficiently and relative to your goals. Approach training intelligently and you will achieve remarkable gains without jeopardising other areas of life.
