This 16 week program is a Beginner/Intermediate Plan for 70.3 athletes. This plan is a good fit if you have successfully completed at least one 70.3-distance race in less than 7:30 OR have successfully completed at least one Olympic-distance race in less than 3:30 prior to beginning this plan, and you are looking for more than just to finish the event.
A typical week has 2-3 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. One race fitness benchmark is included in week 12. There are benchmark workouts in week 5 to update your training zones.
Prior to starting this plan, you should have a good base of an average of 7-9 hours of weekly training for the past four weeks.
The first week of the plan includes 7 hours of training, plus two 30 minute strength sessions:
- 3300 yards/meters of swimming / 1700 yards/meters as your longest swim
- 3 hours 10 minutes of cycling / 1 hour 30 minutes as your longest bike
- 2 hours 35 minutes of running / 1 hour 10 minutes as your longest run
You will build in your max week to 13 hours of training, plus two 30 minute strength sessions:
- 5650 yards/meters of swimming / 2550 yards/meters as your longest swim
- 6 hours of cycling / 3 hours 45 minutes as your longest bike
- 4 hours 45 minutes of running / 2 hours 15 minutes as your longest run
The plan uses the TrainingPeaks structured workout feature, provided precise workout details including pace or power 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.
Coach Alison’s website, linked within the training plan, provides a wide range of information for her athletes. From training zones to understanding TrainingPeaks data to fueling guidelines to Zwift routes, her website is a resource that will support your training journey from start to finish.
