I am delighted to introduce you to our new partner for the aquabike training plans you can find on Aquabike.World.

Karen Parnell from ChiliTri is a Level 3 British Triathlon and IRONMAN Certified Coach, WOWSA Level 3 open water swimming coach,  80/20 Endurance certified coach and NASM Personal Trainer and Sports Technology Writer.

Karen is currently studying for an MSc in Sports Performance Coaching at the University of Stirling.

Alongside the Aquabike.World training plans she also coaches a very small number of athletes one to one for all aquabike and triathlon distances, open water swimming events and running races.

Karen offers her training plans to prepare for sprint, standard, half and full distance aquabike races at Final Surge and Training Peaks. While Training Peaks is the more established and popular platform which is already used by many athletes, Final Surge has many features included in the free membership which are only available for premium members at Training Peaks.

You can find all the details about Karen’s aquabike training plans at our aquabike training plans page. There you will also find our little training plan finder to help you to find the right training plan for your needs as there are many versions for different race distances, performance levels and time periods. You will also find this little tool on every event page, if you’d like to get a training plan for that specific event.

Free Aquabike Training Plans for Premium Members

If you sign up for a premium membership you can now also get a free pdf training plan for standard, half or full distance aquabike races alongside with lots of helpful information to get prepared for your first or next aquabike race. Of course, a pdf training plan cannot provide many of the benefits of a training plan on Final Surge or Training Peaks, but it is certainly a great way to start with some structured training.

You’ll get the download links by email after your premium registration or upgrade. Existing premium members will soon get an email with the download links so you can also get them of course.

Karen lives in Andalucia and will be present at the upcoming world championships in Torremolinos for the whole race week. So if you’d like to meet her in person, you can check out her website, find her on facebook, instagram or youtube to get in touch, or simply drop her an email at karen.parnell@chilitri.com.
