PRE SEASON FITNESS
The Octathalon pre season training programs are one of the fastest ways possible to get fit in a short space of time before the start of your season.
You just need 40 mins 3 times a week for 2 weeks to notice a difference
These short, sharp intense and varied exercises test the whole body system in a way that brings on fitness at an incredible rate. Try it and see – IT’S FREE. We have had reports of people who have trained for the Octathalon gone back to their sport and found that they were running rings around all their peers with their new found higher levels of fitness.
If you want even more than these sessions, go on to buy an Octathalon Training Diary. This precise, periodised set of 30 heart rate tailored training programs will train you to such elevated levels of fitness that you may never have known possible. Just look at the shapes of our top Octathaletes to see what is possible. Buy a Suunto T6 digital heart rate watch from us and you will get a Training Diary Free.

The five free taster sessions are just a small sample of the Octathalon Training Diary. If you like those five sessions, you may want to go on to buy the diary. Whereas the five sessions are a selection from some great training plans, the Training Diary provides you with much more. |

It is a series of training sessions that have been periodised to help you in the lead up toward running through one of the Octathalon courses. The sessions are also heart rate tailored to provide you with precise training plans that leave you neither overtrained nor undertrained. Instructions in the diary will help you learn how to get the best out of your heart rate monitors. |
You will need to have a heart rate monitor, preferably a digital one, in order to do the training diary sessions, however this is not the case with the 5 free taster sessions. If you buy a Suunto T6 from us on this website, we will give you a free Training Diary. |

WHICH OCTATHALON COURSE IS BEST FOR ME TO TRAIN FOR?

Each training session suggests a warm up first and a stretching period afterwards. We recommend you doing this as it will help you progress.
RPE
(Rate of Perceived Exertion)
The introductory 5 training sessions and the 5 taster sessions are not set to tailored heart rate training programs, they use an RPE scale to indicate the intensity the exercise should be done at. There are many RPE scales but the one we are suggesting you use for these exercises is on a 1 - 10 basis with rough guidlines as to exertion levels as follows:-
- Normal breathing while sitting in a chair.
- Exercise requiring slightly heavier breathing than normal, like walking fast.
- A short run to catch a bus where you need to start breathing faster and harder will get you to this level.
- Casual cycling with a noticeable increased breathing rate and noticeable use of your leg muscles working will get you to this level
- Light jogging that does not bring on perspiration will lead to this RPE
- Cycling up a hill or light running at a pace that will lead to perspiration and a deep but still relaxed breathing rate.
- Noticeable heart rate beat, deep breathing and heavy perspiration that is quick to appear will find you at this level.
- Fast breathing, heavy perspiration, intense exercise that is hard but can be maintained for reasonable periods of time..
- Extreme breathing, often at an irregular rate and maximum perspiration rate. Exercising at this level is extremely hard and cannot be done for very long.
- Very hard maximum effort leading to total exhaustion and collapse in a short period of time
Stick to the recommended RPE for each exercise and you will benefit by getting to the end of the sessions. |
