Can I add Extra Strength and Conditioning Workouts?

Additional Strength Sessions

If you’re adding extra strength training, follow these tips to complement your race plan:

Prioritize Your Race Plan

• Endurance and race preparation come first.

• Strength sessions should support, not replace, key workouts.

Plan Your Workout Order

• Leg-focused strength → before swim days.

• Upper body strength → before bike or run days.

• Avoid starting important workouts fatigued or sore.

Double Sessions

• If doing two workouts in one day, start with your triathlon discipline, then complete the strength session.

Taper Strength Training

• In the final weeks before your race, reduce strength session intensity.

• Focus on race-specific training and arriving at peak form.
