This mid-distance plan is ideal for intermediate to advanced triathletes that want to build a solid base and then peak for an upcoming half, 32 weeks away.
In general, it builds for three weeks before having one recovery week and then repeating.
It will take you through Preparation, Base, Build, and Peak phases.
It's made for triathletes that use power meters and includes structured workouts for easy synching with your devices. Ideally, you should have an indoor bike trainer as well, for the structured bike workouts, but it's not essential.
It integrates race-specific efforts and has tips, annotations, and guidance on fueling, hydration, and form.
It starts with benchmarking for the swim, bike, and run (FTP test, and time trials) and used power for the bike, assuming you have a smart trainer and/or a power meter.

TESTIMONIALS
Within 3 months, Coach Andrew prepared me for my first triathlon.
Coming from a running background I had no idea how to start training for it.
But he guided me step by step.
From the workouts themselves, the equipment needed…to nutritional details and pacing strategy!
His passion is truly inspiring!

I started working with Andrew in July 2023 without any background in triathlon. By providing a personalized training plan and frequently discussing this with me, he helped me to successfully participate in my first Olympic triathlon race by October!
I appreciate Andrew's passion for the sport, his breadth of knowledge, his personalized approach, and his positivity.
Would highly recommend Andrew for anyone who wants to step into the world of triathlon.

Coach Andrew's approachability and quick responses played a crucial role in my triathlon success. Under his expert guidance, I not only reduced an impressive 35 minutes in my last race but also appreciated the personalized plans tailored to my needs.
Grateful for Coach Andrew's commitment and highly recommend him to anyone seeking significant improvements in their triathlon performance.
