Training plan 2026

We're very excited to share our detailed 2026 training plan with you. The entire year is carefully divided into focused training blocks, each designed with a clear, specific goal to help you improve steadily and confidently, step by step.

The plan is founded on the following principles.

1. Technique First, Always

Blocks begin with skill development — better movement creates faster, more resilient athletes.

2. Train the Right System at the Right Time

We move from aerobic base → strength → threshold → race-specific intensity in a structured and predictable progression.

3. Same Framework, Different Journeys

Whether you're racing Sprint or Ironman, everyone follows the same rhythm — but volume and intensity adjust to your goals and level.
