Group Triathlon Training for Performance Oriented Athletes

This Performance Tri Program is designed for those ready to push their training and performance to a new level.  We’ll take it up a notch from the Beginner Program and start to focus on building ‘racing’ skills and an advanced level of fitness with the goal of peak performance for the target event.  Participants in this program should have previous triathlon experienced and be proficient in all three components of the sport.

Race distance for this group will be Sprint or Olympic, as the athlete chooses. Here are a few key components of the Performance Tri Program:

  • Baseline field testing to determine appropriate training paces in swimming, biking and running.
  • Detailed 12 week training plan, adjusted monthly based on training results/performance.  This plan includes details for group workouts as well as workouts to be completed individually.
  • Advanced skills instruction in all three sports
  • One hour of one-on-one time with a Flower Power Sports coach to focus on a specific skill or training item
