WHEELCHAIR RACING

Wheelchair Racing training plans, built for your goal

Wheelchair racing spans 100m sprints to full marathons, and each end trains a completely different push-stroke — sprint racers chase cadence and compact aerodynamic positioning, marathoners build hours of efficient, repeatable push volume. SportBlox builds your wheelchair racing training plan around your classification, race distance and season, and syncs with Strava if you log your push sessions.

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 push-stroke efficiency at race pace, shoulder fatigue over race distance, cornering and drafting technique 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 wheelchair racing 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

Wheelchair Racing training plan FAQ

Does the plan account for my classification?

Yes — tell SportBlox your classification and race distance and it weights push technique, strength and pacing work to suit your functional profile.

Do I need a racing chair and track access for every session?

Push and technique sessions assume access to your racing chair and a track or safe road loop; strength work can be done separately if access is limited on a given day.

Is this suitable for a newer wheelchair racer?

Yes — set skill level to Inexperienced and the plan prioritises push technique and chair setup fundamentals before adding intensity.

Will it fit around my club or national squad training?

Yes, tell it your existing squad sessions and the plan schedules supplementary strength and technique work around them.

Does it work with Strava?

Yes, connect Strava and logged push sessions feed back into pacing and progression.
