KICKR LAB 2026/2027

TRAIN. TEST. IMPROVE.

Your Winter Training Starts Here!

For more than a decade, Salt Lake Triathlon Club’s KICKR LAB has helped athletes stay motivated, build fitness, and prepare for their next race. We’re excited to bring it back for the 2026/2027 season with a structured training program designed to make every workout count.

Winter doesn’t have to mean losing fitness. It’s an opportunity to build endurance, improve efficiency, and develop the consistency that leads to better racing.

Led by USA Triathlon Certified Coach Rory Duckworth, KICKR LAB combines structured workouts, performance testing, and proven training principles to help you reach your goals.

Whether you’re training for your first triathlon, preparing for a 70.3 or full IRONMAN, or simply looking to maintain fitness through the winter, KICKR LAB gives you the structure and accountability to succeed.

Registration is open to athletes of ALL abilities and experience levels!

NEW FOR 2026/2027

This season, we’re introducing a more complete approach to winter training.

Instead of separate training tracks, KICKR LAB will feature one comprehensive program that combines swimming, cycling, and running. Workouts are structured using your individual training zones, allowing athletes of different abilities to follow the same program at their own intensity.

Program Highlights

• 26 weeks of structured training, November 1, 2026 through May 1, 2027
• Optional 16 week extension through August 21, 2027, designed for athletes preparing for Utah 70.3
• Three cycling workouts per week, including structured intervals, endurance training, and FTP testing
• Three running workouts per week, combining aerobic endurance, controlled tempo intervals, and progressive long runs
• Three swimming workouts per week, focusing on technique, endurance, and speed
• Individual training zones based on power, pace, CSS, and perceived effort
• Planned recovery every fourth week
• TrainingPeaks integration to organize workouts and track progress
• Flexible scheduling, with all workouts completed independently

HOW DOES KICKR LAB WORK?

KICKR LAB is a virtual or in-person training program designed around your schedule.

Each week, you’ll receive structured workouts through TrainingPeaks, allowing you to train at home, at the gym, or wherever your schedule allows.

The program follows a consistent weekly schedule:

• Monday: Swim and Run
• Tuesday: Bike
• Wednesday: Swim and Run
• Thursday: Bike
• Friday: Swim and Run
• Saturday: Long Bike
• Sunday: Rest and Recovery

Weekday cycling sessions are designed to fit into approximately 60 minutes. Saturday rides progressively build endurance, with the longest indoor sessions reaching three hours.

Running workouts build gradually, with long runs reaching a maximum of 90 minutes.

TRAIN WITH PURPOSE

We believe successful training starts with understanding your fitness and knowing how to apply the right intensity. KICKR LAB uses structured, zone based training rather than simply riding harder or accumulating miles.

WHERE DO YOU TRAIN?

Anywhere! Or with us in Bluffdale

KICKR LAB is designed for athletes who prefer the flexibility of training on their own schedule.

Complete your workouts at home, at your preferred fitness facility, or wherever you normally train.

There are no required group sessions or scheduled indoor cycling classes.

Your workouts are delivered through TrainingPeaks, making it easy to follow your training plan and track your progress.

WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU NEED?

Getting started is simple.

For cycling, you’ll need a bicycle and an indoor trainer. A smart trainer or power meter is recommended for the best experience, but athletes can also use heart rate and perceived effort when appropriate.

For running, you’ll need access to outdoor running routes or a treadmill.

For swimming, you’ll need access to a swimming pool.

A TrainingPeaks account is required to access your training plan. Compatible training devices and platforms may help you follow structured workouts.
