Detailed training plans & workouts

Flexible training plans to suit your goals: 

Wellington Squad training plans are revised every year. There are separate plans for each major training block and event.

There are options to suit those who have more or less training time, and those who are newer to the sport vs experienced.

Every plan includes: Specific daily workouts that can be done by heart rate, cycling power, running pace, or perceived effort

(Note these are squad-wide training plans that you can choose between and adjust to suit your availability - they are not individually written for each member of the team).

Coach & team support

We run a private Facebook Group so everyone can stay connected. Through this group you can:

• Post questions to coach Gerrard and the rest of the team
  
• Join our monthly team video calls
  
• Access our library of resources (articles, videos, podcasts)
