Aquabike training plans that survive real life
A swim and a bike with no run at the end. Adaptlete builds the weeks around your race date, balances the two sports, and adapts them when your week changes.
On Pro, the hours, the experience level and the date you give shape every block, and the plan is rewritten when your week changes.
The races on this page are examples. In the app you choose a distance and set your own date, so a race we have not listed works the same way.

HOW THE AQUABIKE PLAN WORKS
Standard or long
In the app you choose the closest of two goals, a standard aquabike or a long one, and set the date of your race. The plan is phased for how far away that date is, so the weeks look different at twenty weeks out and at three.
Two athletes, two plans
Take two athletes who both have a standard aquabike in sixteen weeks. One is a strong cyclist who is nervous in open water. The other is a lifelong swimmer who rides a few times a month. Their goal and date are the same and their plans differ from the first day. On Pro, each following block is then written from what each of them really did.
Where your plan comes from
Every plan starts from your answers: your sport, your goal, your experience level and the hours you have. On Pro, the AI writes the plan two weeks at a time from what you actually did in the last block, phased for how far away your race is, and writes the next two weeks again when you travel, get sick or something starts hurting, with no limit on rebuilds. The free plan starts from a prebuilt plan matched to your sport, goal, experience, weeks to go and weekly hours, and includes one AI rebuild a month for travel, sickness or injury.
What it does not do
Adaptlete writes your training. It does not pick your race, review the course or coach your transition in person, and it gives no medical advice. If something hurts, take the load off it and see a doctor or physio.
QUESTIONS
What is an aquabike?
It is a swim followed by a bike ride, with no run. Many triathlons offer it as a separate category.
Do I need to be signed up for a race?
No. Aquabike has no race library here. In the app you choose a standard or a long goal and set the date of your race, and the plan is phased for how far away it is.
Does an aquabike plan include strength training?
Yes. Strength is one of the three kinds of training the app programs for aquabike, next to swimming and biking.
Is this medical advice?
No. Adaptlete is a training-plan service. If something hurts, take the load off it and see a doctor or physio.
