Can I still train with my club
Yes, if you belong to a club but you want to follow our training plan / methodology we encourage people to always train together where possible. We understand Triathlon can be very solitary - that's why we created the squad.
Can I miss a session and train with a friend
Yes absolutely, when you're on a rolling programme or a specific race plan, you can always step outside the plan - training first and foremost has to be fun, you should never feel like your on your own .
What happens when I enter a race
Alistair and Jonny work on a 2 week rolling plan and this is adjusted closer to races. So we will always adapt based on your race events.
Is the Training Plan specific to me
The plan is built on a 20 year methodology used by Alistair and Jonny - it's proven to deliver results. The plan only changes based on specific race events, if you're injured or coming back from injury.
How do you collaborate and share
We have monthly video meets to answer key questions, a Facebook group for sharing our training journey and a broadcast WhatsApp group for general announcements.
What if I can't make a session
The rolling plan allows you to fit your training around life, we want to make it as easy as possible to stick to our plans and achieve consistent training. To make it easier, you have the ability to move sessions around to suit your work/life balance.
Do I get regular check-ins
We have monthly video meets, facebook groups and the ability to email our coaching team with specific questions relating to your training progress.
What if I get injured
Simply contact us on the Squad WhatsApp and we will work with you to adjust your plan accordingly.
Can I meet up and train with other squad members
