Hey folks,
New here, but not new to the idea of training by AI. I've been using good ol' chatgbt for my training for the past few months, so when I heard about Athletica on the Whoop podcast, I was all in.
Right now, I'm training for my first 70.3 next year (it's more than 6 months out, so I had to set it in April, but it's really in June) and other offroad bike events this fall.
One thing that I'm not sure what to do about is strength training. I really enjoy GORUCK-type workouts and use the daily workouts they put out on occasion. Ideally, 2-3x per week. Is there a strength option within Athletica? It's important to me for several reasons to lift weights besides run/bike/swim.
Hello Ashley,
the mid volume and high volume triathlon plans (all distances) contain two strength and conditioning sessions per week. Not sure why there are no strength and conditioning sessions in the low volumen plan. @paul can you maybe assist here?
@rene @ashleyidesign Hi both. You are right. We opted to leave those out of the low volume programs (to keep the volume low) but we are getting quite a bit of feedback of this desire and need. We are likely to add this option back in the future but it will take some time. Thanks both for voicing.
@paul Ahh ok. So in the meantime, I'll need to bump up to mid-volume to get some on the schedule. I was planning on this anyway, just wanted to start out slow.
