Your 16 Week Sprint Distance Plan from a Level 3 British Triathlon Coach
Welcome to your training plan!
This 16 week plan is ideal for a beginner or experienced duathlete that needs a lower volume Sprint duathlon training plan.
Before you begin you should comfortably run for 45 minutes and cycle for 60 minutes and complete at least 4 total hours of aerobic exercise over seven days.
You plan includes:
- Cycling, Running and S&C Sessions
- Training and Racing Tips
- Strength session to help avoid injuries
- Video and written sessions
- Bike Power (FTP) sessions for TrainingPeaks Virtual Zwift, Wahoo, Rouvy, Garmin etc.
- Run and Swim session have RPE and Heart Rate Targets for use with Garmin, Polar, Coros etc
- Email Access to Coach
The weekly training volume starts at approximately 6 hours in week 1 and peaks at approximately 8.5 hours in week 13.
You should consult your doctor before embarking on any physical fitness training.
The training sessions can be completed in a number of locations. The bike sessions could be done either outdoors or indoors, the same goes for the running sessions. We would strongly advise that you do spend as much time as possible training outdoors so that you get time training in similar conditions to those that you will be racing in.
