Is This Plan For You?

If you don’t have a lot of time, are inexperienced, can only swim 500m/yrds, bike for 30 minutes, and run 2 miles (not all on the same day). But still want to taste the satisfying moment of crossing the red-carpeted line… then this might be your plan.


  • It is designed for beginners or returning 70.3 triathletes with busy lives. It’s flexible enough that you won’t have to give up any commitments.

  • The plan uses a multi-media approach; schedule, text, videos, and a word bank to learn the triathlon’s training lingo.

  • It also consists of a periodization progression process – which gradually builds up the intensity, duration, and complexity of your workouts as you gain more confidence each week.

  • Plus, the plan’s swimming, biking, running, and strength training blocks ensure you’ll maximize each discipline before hopping in.

  • And email coach support, so that you aren’t stuck with any questions along the way.

BONUS: (You’ll also have daily access to a 21-time Ironman finisher)

If you’re an inexperienced or returning triathlete, who doesn’t feel comfortable doing it alone, then this is a great plan to start becoming more familiar with the 70.3 race… so that you can eventually use it as a ‘prep race’ for an Ironman or Kona Championship.

What’s Included?


  • FOUR exclusive instructional videos before each phase of training. I explain in detail how each training block is organized and structured.

  • 24 week's worth of swimming, biking, running, and strength training workouts.

  • A special Complimentary Consultation.

  • Swim and Run analysis to personalize certain drills to best fit your technique limiter.

  • This plan starts with 2 days of swimming, biking, running, and strength training. Then, it builds up to 3 swims, 3 bikes, 3 runs, and over time reduces strength to 1 day per week.

  • Need advice on rearranging your workouts to suit your availability? Email me and we’ll figure it out!

TIP: Before the program, you should be able to swim 500 meters/yards, bike for 30 minutes, and run 2 miles (not all on the same day).
