RaceNewForest - September Middle Distance Training Plans

We are working closely with RaceNewForest on the development of a number of projects, and are supporting them by creating Training plans and Course Familiarisation days and Coaching initiatives for a number of their key races.

The RNF September Middle distance Event has been sold out since February. So to support the athletes we have created 3, 10-week Training Plans. The plans come in Starter, intermediate and advanced formats. The difference with these plans are that they can be semi-customised to your requirements and come with telephone coaching support. They are priced at great value of £10 per week, £100 for a plan and coaching support!

All you need to do is
Step 1 Purchase the plan of your choice http://www.trainingbible.co.uk/coaching/training-plans/
Step 2. Fill out a athlete questionnaire http://www.trainingbible.co.uk/coaching/getting-started/athlete-signup/

A coach will then call you and run through your questionnaire, they will then adapt the Training Plan and get you going. All Training plans are developed on the Training Peaks software platform so it can be easily followed, you will get an e-mail every day to explain what sessions are on your plan and what to do. If you wish you can upload your heart rate data for each session so your coach can help you analyse how your training is going. Its a great way to get a simple yet highly effective Training Plan to help you have a great race and a great day!

On Saturday August 22nd we will also be holding a Course familiarisation day for the same race, where all the coaches will attend and work with those that want to have the opportunity to Ride and Run all or part of the course. The day is 4 weeks out from the race and will include sessions on peaking and tapering and lots of tips on how to get the best out of the race. The day includes morning coffee and lunch and is being held at race HQ Sandy Balls. Click here for more details http://www.trainingbible.co.uk/camps-clinics/events-calendar/details/?id=26

Training Plans and the Course Familiarisation day can be purchased separately or both together for the Special price of £150 for more details and how to purchase go to http://www.trainingbible.co.uk/camps-clinics/events-calendar/details/?id=26

A weekend of great performances from TrainingBible athletes!


Sean Frost was part of a team from the Porche Human Performance Center who broke the world record for running the furthest on a treadmill for 48 hours. They broke the previous record of 797 by over 70 kms. Athletes in the team put in amazing performances running over 75 kms in 48 hours at speeds that averaged 18.1km per hour. The fatigue and sleep deprivation finally took their toll. Well done to Andy Blow and the whole team who took part at Goodwood great effort!
The weekend started early on Friday at the King Sturge Triathlon at Doney Lake. Rick De Blaby beat his target time of 1:30 by a couple of minutes despite the 'no wetsuit' rule enforcement, well done Rick!

Sunday Morning saw Steve Barratt storm to a comfortable win at the Bounemouth Sprint which marks his first win after returning back to triathlon after a lengthy lay off. Steve is now at University at Durham and is now racing for Team Durham and his home town sponsor Primera.


In Austria on Sunday morning Will Newbery was preparing for his first Ironman, and a superb performance brought him home strong in 9:41, looks like there is more in the tank should he decide to make a sustained effort at the distance. Well done we are proud of you!

Dr. Paul Cooper was also exercising on Sunday morning and again a Dorney Lake. The tough wind conditions and 'No wetsuit' again could not stop Paul achieving a PB at Standard distance of 2:28. Keep going Paul, both your coach Andy and I think you have got another 3 or 4 minutes in you yet this season :-)

Factors effecting Triathlon running

TrainingBible Coach Scott Murray has recently undertaken a review or recent scientific literature on the factors effecting Triathlon running of which there are many. For me the wide ranging conclusions reiterates the importance of individual athlete programming and the constant fine tuning of each element.

Some athletes will run better off the bike after holding a constant cadence of 85rpm and at 80% of Vo2 max whilst another might run more optimally after a bike leg with and average cadence of 95 and holding 90% of Vo2 max. How do we find this out? We plan, practice, record and analyse and refine for the next race. Check it out for yourself.
