The ROUVY indoor cycling app has pro-designed cycling workouts tailored for triathletes.
This first four-week block is designed to prepare you for middle-distance triathlons by focusing on building a strong aerobic foundation and enhancing muscular strength. Through steady endurance efforts and controlled power intervals, this phase develops your stamina, pacing, and efficiency for longer distances.
This four-week block focuses on a balanced approach to building cycling endurance, enhancing sustained power, and improving your ability to handle high-intensity efforts. The sessions are progressively structured to develop your aerobic capacity, sharpen your top-end power, and simulate the demands of race-day efforts. Each week concludes with a cycling session followed by a brick run, preparing you for the physical and mental demands of transitioning from the bike to the run during your triathlon.
This is where it all comes together! Block 3 focuses on race-specific training to ensure you're prepared for every challenge that race day throws your way. A highlight is the Race Simulation Day, where you'll practice your pacing and mental focus in a controlled environment. As the block progresses, you’ll taper your training to feel fresh and powerful on race day.

A sprint triathlon features a 750m swim, 20km bike ride, and 5km run, making it a more accessible challenge than longer races. It typically takes from under an hour for elites to around two hours for beginners, with training helping participants achieve their goals at their own pace.
