SUP

SUP training plans, built for your goal

SUP performance comes from core and shoulder endurance holding paddle technique together over distance — form that looks fine for ten minutes often collapses by the end of a race. SportBlox builds your SUP training plan around your goal, distance and current fitness, and works with your Strava data.

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 stroke efficiency over distance, balance in chop, core endurance late in a race 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

Coaching a sup team?

SportBlox builds your team's training plan around the squad as a whole — its goals, weaknesses and upcoming events — and you review and refine every session before your athletes see it.

FAQ

SUP training plan FAQ

Does this work with Strava?

Yes — connect Strava and your logged paddles feed back into pacing and progression.

Do I need flat water, or does this work for ocean paddling?

Both — tell SportBlox your usual conditions and the plan adjusts balance and technique work accordingly.

Is this suitable for a beginner paddler?

Yes, set skill level to Inexperienced and sessions prioritise balance and technique over pace.

Can it build toward a specific race distance?

Yes, add your race as an event and the plan builds distance and pacing toward it, including a taper.

Does it help with core strength off the water too?

Yes, dedicated gym-based core and shoulder sessions support the paddling-specific work.
