Plan B : Way of the Braves' 
Plan B is the Braves' training philosophy that has evolved from 10 years of professional triathlon coaching.
The Plan B framework steers away from using generic heart rate or power zones because there is not a simple formula to plug in for a quick answer. Rather, our approach to training goes beyond large volume, aerobic conditioning and builds a complete endurance athlete by defining 5 distinct physiological systems in the body;
STRENGTH/ NEURO-MUSCULAR / RESPONSE / TOLERANCE / ENDURANCE
Respecting the specific hormonal response elicited by each of these systems, allows our coaches to design your training programme so that each previous workout lays the groundwork for the the next one. While one system is working hard, the other rests. Each training plan is customized to our athlete's individual priorities and to the ebb and flow of their life’s other important demands. Our emphasis on sustainable training allows our athletes to train consistently within the limits of their available time.
Plan B produces results because we believe that all 3 triathlon disciplines are intimately connected and that your best race requires far more that being good at the 3 sports separately. In fact, our training principals are triathlon specific and would not make sense to the pure cyclist/ runner or swimmer. We use everyday tools to build race - specific sessions that target priority areas, while structuring the entire week's training around your schedule to make it as easy as possible to get it done.
Our emphasis on a high level of communication via app, email, phone or Skype ensures that the critical elements such as Nutrition / Motivation and Enjoyment / Fatigue and Stress Management are addressed. We will give you the truth about training, including its negative effects, and promise not to inflate or stroke your egos because it’s our job to help you avoid the mistakes that others may make.
This is Pan B - The way of the Braves'.
