This 27 week plan is designed for the beginner to intermediate half distance triathlon athlete. The plan includes at least one full rest day each week, a recommended strength training plan, and a gradual progression of distance for each discipline. There are notes throughout the plan which guide you on types of workouts, focuses for the week/month, and workout nutrition/hydration strategies. The workouts begin with 20-30 minute runs, 30-45 minute bikes, and 100-yard swim intervals. The plan is entirely based on RPE (rating of perceived exertion), which gives you an estimate of how hard you should be working for each session so you don't have to worry about paces or power outputs. The sessions are mostly low intensity with some faster intervals later in the plan. There are two practice triathlons and a tapering plan to prepare you for the half distance triathlon. Good luck!
