- Time: 45m
- WU: 10'
- MS: These are with your shoes clipped in, and the idea is to focus on one leg at a time.
- 90" right leg, then 90" left leg.
- 45" right, 45" left, vice versa 2x.
- 30" left, 30" right increase cadence each 5" to maximum.
- 20" right, 20" left for 2'
- 15" right, 15" left for 1'
- 10" right, 10" left, for 40"
- 5"right, 5" left for 20"
- 3-4 x 1' at max cadence, RI 1'
- 3-4 x 15" at max cadence to spinout, RI 45"
- CD: 10'
- Time: 1h 00m
- WU: 10'
- MS: Run 5 miles at 20 beats below your LT
- CD: 10'
- Time: 1h 10m
- Distance: 3450.00 yards
- WU: 400
- MS:
- 4x75 on 20" rest - odds ones have middle 25 yds as drill (1,3) - the evens have the first/last 25 as drill.
- 8x200 as follows:
- - #1, #5 - 150 cruise, 50 FAST!
- - #2, #6 - 100 cruise, 100 FAST!
- - #3, #7 - 50 cruise, 150 FAST!
- - #4, #8 - 200 FAST! These are on 30" rest.
- 200 easy.
- Swim 5x150 on 15" rest. Do these w/paddles.
- CD: 200
- Time: 50m
- Time: 1h 25m
- 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 2x25 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.
- This run can be 30'-90' long depending on fitness level.
- Time: 20m
- Time: 1h 00m
- 30 minutes to 1 hour - your choice. If you feel good go longer than 30 minutes.
- 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.
- *If you are riding one hour, then repeat this cycle again of 20 minutes increasing resistance and easing back off on the last 10 minutes. Purpose is to loosen 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.
- Time: 1h 05m
- Distance: 3100.00 yards
- WU: 400 swim/ 100 drill
- MS: 5x (400 at T-pace minus 3 seconds, 100 drill, so 500 total)
- CD: 100
- Time: 3h 00m
- WU: 45'
- MS: Then 10x2' up a hill at 65-70 RPMS. Recover on the downhills. HR on the uphills can hit Z4. Keep HR in Zone 1-2 otherwise. Alternate standing and sitting for each hill repeat. After the final hill repeat, you can spin easy until you have hit the 3 hour mark (including cooldown).
- CD: 25'
- *Don't worry if the WU or CD aren't exactly right since you have to ride out to the hill.
- Time: 45m
- Distance: 2200.00 yards
- OPTIONAL SWIM:
- WU: 400 swim then 6x50 on 15" rest.
- MS: 12x100 @T-pace + 3". Your rest is 15".
- CD: 300 easy.
- Time: 1h 00m
- A very easy recovery ride - no higher than the top of Zone 1.
- Time: 1h 15m
- Run 75' on a flat to rolling course or treadmill. Keep HR in Zone 1-2 - keep it easy to low medium effort except for middle section where you do 3 x (3' slightly over LT/5K pace, 3' very easy).
- Think about form and running pretty. Concentrate on keeping turnover high, don't overstride - run efficiently.
- This run can be from 75-90' long depending on fitness level.
- Time: 50m

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 25

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.
