Junior Winter Training Programme

Keep moving, keep learning and keep developing this winter.

Building skills, confidence and fitness for the season ahead

Winter is a fantastic opportunity for junior triathletes to develop their skills, build confidence and prepare for the season ahead.

Triathlon Ireland is delighted to introduce a five-session Junior Winter Training Programme at Corkagh Park Cycle Racing Track, designed specifically for teenage and young triathletes aged 8 and over.

Whether you’re new to triathlon or looking to develop your existing skills, this programme offers a fun, supportive and progressive training environment for everyone.

What is the programme about?

Over five monthly sessions, athletes will be introduced to the fundamentals of structured winter training, progressively developing endurance, strength, technique, confidence and consistency.

Each session will build on the skills and training principles introduced in the previous month, helping athletes develop gradually and prepare for the spring and summer duathlon and triathlon season.

The focus is on long-term athlete development, enjoyment, good technique and consistency rather than high training volumes or maximum effort.

Who can take part?

The programme is open to junior athletes aged 8 years and over, with all ability levels welcome – from participation through to development.

Athletes will be organised into different groups based on age and ability to ensure that training is appropriate, enjoyable and challenging for everyone.
