Plan Description


Winning is a Mindset Not a Spot on the Podium


The Duathlon Foundation plan focuses on building specific running & cycling strength & aerobic conditioning during the foundation phase of an athlete's training season. Whether you race duathlon exclusively, are a runner that enjoys cross-training with the bike, or a triathlete who doesn't have access to a pool, this plan provides a balanced & safe progression in volume & intensity to help you get fit & Suffer Faster than you ever have before!


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


"The program gets five stars from me. At the end of the day, what matters is performance: Did I improve? Am I faster? Am I stronger? Do I feel better? The answer to these questions is a resounding yes."
