40+ weeks till race day. Training program decided.

I have chosen a 37 week tri training program that spells everything out for me. I will be consulting with a coach, and I will be joining a masters swim program as well. The program starts in ernest on the 3rd week of September.

Its actually:
- 8 weeks of adaptation.Low intensity phase, adapting to training program. (going to do this, and then increase my workout loads from an age grouper average to a more elite level).
- 1 week active recovery - low intensity
- 6 weeks of increasing aerobic levels  Intensity and distance gradually increasing.
- 1 week of active recovery - low intensity
- 7 weeks of endurance, "going long."
- 1 week of active recovery - low intensity
- 7 weeks of competitive, most important training, the longest training days are here, race preparation in ernest.
- 1 week of active recovery - low intensity
- 4 weeks of taper, recovery and increasing muscle glycogen
RACE DAY
