New workouts in the TrainingPeaks.com Exercise Libraries

If you use TrainingPeaks as your online training log, you probably know there is a store in the software for purchasing training plans for events. However, there is also a store for Exercise Libraries, which is simply a collection of workouts, designed by the author.

If you're a self-coached athlete, looking for some new workouts to use and utilize in your training, then you might like some of the Exercise Libraries I have added:

Marathon Goal Pace Workouts - This is a series of 9 workouts, built in a ladder, designed to help athletes who are preparing for a marathon. These are simple and progressive, yet effective workouts for nearly ALL levels of runners, from beginner to advance.

Goal Mile Run Workouts - This series of 15 workouts, built ladder style of 1/wk, has an athlete attempt to run 1 mile on a track at a selected goal time come the 15th week, are designed to improve economy and speed. This is an ADVANCED level workout structure and system.

Advanced 70.3 Bike Workouts - These 6 workouts are wattage-based, for the athlete who is COMPETITIVE in Half-Ironman, looking to make a jump in bike performance. These workouts are tough, and have been used by age-group winners, Kona qualifiers and elites.

Advanced Ironman Bike Workouts - These 5 workouts are wattage-based, for the athlete who is COMPETITIVE in Ironman, looking to make a jump in bike performance. These workouts are tough, and have been used by age-group winners, Kona qualifiers and elites.

If you're looking to spice-up your training or to step-up your training, these workouts will allow you to do so, based on your goals. They are specific for the races they list, and will help with any athlete to periodize their training and have a successful race. Look for more exercise libraries from me in the coming weeks.
