Plan Description


Creator: Maria Simone, No Limits Endurance Coaching

Length: 12 weeks

Weekly Duration (average): Ranges from 5 to 8 hours per week (includes strength)

Ability level: Intermediate


This 12-week plan is ideal for the athlete who will be doing an olympic-length duathlon, and who has at least one season of triathlon experience OR broader endurance experience in cycling and running (for example, you have run 10+ mile races, or ridden 30+ miles).

The plan includes information about how to set your HR zones for running. Bike workouts are structured using HR and cadence. Run workouts are structured primarily by heart rate, and a few speed-based runs using some pace suggestions. Athletes are also given instructions on how to gauge RPE to match up with the zones.

Prior to starting this plan, you should be able to ride 45-60 minutes continuously as an aerobic effort, and run 45 minutes continuously at an aerobic effort. The plan includes 3 rides per week, and 3-4 runs per week. It also includes core workouts, and suggestions for activation.

This plan does not come with regular coach correspondence. However, anyone who purchases the plan may have a one-time email consult - maria@nolimitsendurance.com. I recommend you take the time to review the entire plan and take note of any questions you have. Then, email them to maximize this correspondence. If you'd like a phone or video consult, you get 20% off the current rate.

Athletes who purchase this plan receive a 10% discount to join our #NLECrew, the team for endurance athletes with no limits! Visit #NLECrew for details or to sign up.

Upon purchase of the plan, you can email Maria for the code to get your club discount.
