Plan Description

Unlock Your Potential: 16 Week PB Beater Half Distance Plan (medium volume 9-13 hours, fully reusable, coach email support)


This plan is designed for athletes who can already swim for 45-60 mins non-stop (approx. 1:45 - 2:00 per 100m average), cycle for 1:30-2:00 hours non-stop and run for 90 mins and will work to build you up to completing your next half distance race. It is designed for athletes looking to improve their training and push themselves to do well. This plan has a heavy focus on developing muscular endurance in the bike and run and a clear focus on developing technique in the swim. This is aimed at the intermediate to advanced level athlete

Our multi-faceted plan includes workouts and weekly coaching insights on training objectives, strength training, race planning, nutritional strategies, and newly added psychological skills training. We aim for holistic development, preparing you physically and mentally. The 'why' behind each phase guides your smart training.


All cycling and running sessions are structured workouts, downloadable to your training devices, Zwift, Trainer Road, and more. Say goodbye to planning and hello to performance.


Swimming also gets smarter. Many of our swim sessions are crafted with the workout builder, allowing direct transfer to your training device. No more soggy paper poolside! We also provide initial pre-plan testing and weekly coaching insights to fine-tune your race prep and mental game.
