This is a training plan created by Endurance Strong is designed to prepare an Novice Duathlete for a Sprint Duathlon Race (5k/20k/2.5k or similar). On Non-Recovery Weeks this plan ranges from 6.75-10hrs/wk and 480-660TSS/wk. Recommended starting fitness would be a CTL in the 40's or 50's, which our Novice Base Training Plans should arrive you at. This plan has notes on how and when to incorporate strength training but no other strength training guidance. Endurance Strong also offers this same Training Plan with a full Strength Training Plan included at a slightly higher price point (Best Value), as well as separate Strength Training Plans. This plan generally follows the sequence of:
- Monday - Off
- Tuesday – Run Intervals (Track) and Shorter Endurance Rides
- Wednesday - Easy Run and Strength Training
- Thursday – Bike Interval / Threshold Workouts and Shorter Endurance Runs
- Friday - Easy Bike Ride
- Saturday – Bike Heavy Brick Workouts and Strength Training
- Sunday – Long Runs or Run Heavy Brick Workouts
