- WU: 15' warm up - nice smooth spinning.
- MS: Then shift into a the big chain ring and into a gear that allows you to spin at about 65-70 RPMs. You will spin 3x15 minutes in this gear - HR should be mid-high Z2 - recovery will be 5' easy between sets - you will probably see HR drift into Z3 - keep the cadence up - this is where you build strength.
- CD: 10' cool down.
- Time: 30m
- OPTIONAL RUN:
- Run on a flat course or treadmill. Keep HR in Zone 1-2, no higher than the top of Z2.
- Think about running like a Kenyan - smooth and efficient! Stretch when done and add in Core 1, 2 or 3.

- 30 minutes to 1 hour - your choice. Start out at a very easy gearing, over 20 minutes gradually increase the resistance to a medium level. Then gradually work back to the easy gear you started with over the last 10 minutes. Purpose is to loosen your legs after a long run or ride from the day before or even a recent race. If it's nice out, feel free to spin outside, but stay in the small chain ring.

- CD: 100 easy
- Time: 2h 00m
- 2-3.5 hour ride on a flat course. Keep HR in Zone 1-2. After 30' warm up, you will bring your cadence up to 100 rpms for 30", and do this every 3 minutes (so 30" at 100 rpms, then 2min30sec for recovery) - use the last 10-15' of your ride as cool down.
- Time: 45m
- Distance: 2200.00 yards

Day 15
Day 16
Day 17
Kenyan Running - lean forward, roll off your big toes, keep hand above your waist, look about 6 feet in front of you with your eyes, drive your elbows back and never cross your midline with your hands.
Use this day to also get additional 'Core Strength' exercises in for a total of 2-4 sessions per week. See Core and Strength Guidelines for more information.
Day 18
T-Pace = swim test time / the number of 100 you swam. If you swam 20:00 for 1,000 yards, then your T-Pace would equal 20:00/10 for a T-Pace of 2:00 per 100.
Day 19
Day 20
T-Pace = swim test time / the number of 100 you swam. If you swam 20:00 for 1,000 yards, then your T-Pace would equal 20:00/10 for a T-Pace of 2:00 per 100.
Day 21
Pretty Running - lean forward, roll off your big toes, keep hand above your waist, look about 6 feet in front of you with your eyes, drive your elbows back and never cross your midline with your hands.
