This 20 week program is a Beginner Plan for 70.3 athletes. It’s great for first-timers!
A typical week has 3 swims, 3 bikes, 3 runs, and 2 strength sessions. Your days off are Mondays, your long rides are on Saturdays, and your long runs are on Sundays. There are bike-run (brick) workouts on most Saturdays beginning with week 8. Two race simulation days are included in weeks 12 and 16. There are benchmark workouts in weeks 5 and 13 to update your training zones.
Prior to starting this plan, you should have a good base of an average of 5-6 hours of weekly training for the past four weeks.
The first week of the plan includes 5 hours 30 minutes of training, plus two 30 minute strength sessions:
- 2200 yards/meters of swimming / 1200 yards/meters as your longest swim
- 2 hours 40 minutes of cycling / 1 hour as your longest bike
- 1 hour 50 minutes of running / 45 minutes as your longest run
You will build in your max week to 13 hours 30 minutes of training, plus two 30 minute strength sessions:
- 6300 yards/meters of swimming / 2550 yards/meters as your longest swim
- 6 hours 20 minutes of cycling / 4 hours as your longest bike
- 4 hours 20 minutes of running / 2 hours as your longest run
The plan uses the TrainingPeaks structured workout feature, provided precise workout details including pace or heart rate targets for all segments/intervals within each workout. These workouts can be easily imported into devices, including most Garmin multisport watches and bike computers, as well as into trainer software such as Zwift. See the Structured Workout Help Page for more information.
