First week of the build is done. Not perfect, but that’s ok.

Week 1 Totals:

🏊 Swim: ~1:00 | 3,625 yds

🚴 Bike: 7:05hrs | 115 mi

🏃 Run: ~1:45 | 11.2 mi

💪 Strength: 1:03

📊 Total TSS: 757

The swims were shortened this week and I missed a tempo run. I’m not hiding from that, but here’s the thing, perfection isn’t the goal right now. Rebuilding consistency is.

Now let’s talk about the strength work, because this matters more than most triathletes realize.

As volume climbs, it’s important to keep up with the strength work even when the schedule gets tight and the legs are tired. Skipping it might feel like the easy call in the moment, but sticking with it is what helps prevent breakdowns later in the season when it counts most.

This week I kept strength in on June 2, June 4, and June 7; short, focused sessions averaging around 20 minutes each. That’s the S2G approach in action. We’re not trying to PR your back squat in the middle of a race build. The sessions are designed to fit around your tri training, not compete with it.

Three sessions. One hour total. Zero compromise on the swim-bike-run load.

That’s the whole idea.

Show up. Do the work. Adjust when life happens. Repeat.

Five weeks to go. 💪

Are you keeping strength in your race build, or is it the first thing to go?
