AQUABIKE

Aquabike training plans, built for your goal

Aquabike drops the run leg but keeps triathlon's hardest pacing problem — coming out of the water and riding within yourself rather than blowing up in the first 10km, since there's no run leg left to recover position on. SportBlox builds your aquabike training plan around your goal, current level and whether swim pacing, bike power or the swim-to-bike transition is the real gap.

Personalisation

How SportBlox personalises it

Your goal & event date

Sessions build toward the specific goal and date you set, with a taper if you're racing or competing.

Your skill level

Volume and intensity scale to where you actually are, from Inexperienced to Professional.

Your stated weaknesses

Tell SportBlox about things like swim-to-bike transition pacing, sustaining bike power off the swim, open-water sighting and the plan weights sessions toward fixing them.

Your schedule

The plan fits the days and time you say you have — not an idealised training week.

Works with Strava

Connect Strava and your logged sessions feed back into pacing and progression.

For coaches
