Plan Description
Plan Goal
Build to a confident, well-paced 70.3 finish — a strong swim, a controlled bike, and a resilient half-marathon off the bike.
This structured plan takes you from foundation to race-ready with sensible progressions, clear intensity guidance, and built-in recovery. The aim is simple: train with purpose, stay consistent, and arrive on race day sharp without burning out.
How We Guide Intensity (Clear & Flexible)
This plan uses objective metrics as the default, with RPE always available as a reliable fallback.
Swim: guided by pace per 100m, supported by RPE
Bike: power-led by default for accuracy and progression. If power isn’t available (or conditions make it unreliable), sessions can be executed effectively using RPE
Run: guided by pace or heart rate depending on the session, always supported by RPE — especially in heat, fatigue, or off the bike
Power is used consistently on the bike, while the run deliberately mixes metrics so you learn to pace well in real-world conditions rather than chase numbers.
What to Expect
✅ Progressive structure — Base → Build → Peak → Taper with regular recovery weeks
✅ Technique first — efficient swim mechanics, smooth bike cadence, durable run form
✅ Clear intensity cues — power, pace, HR, and RPE used intentionally
✅ Race-specific bricks — dial pacing and fueling when it matters most
✅ Long-day rehearsals — practice nutrition, kit, and mindset under realistic load
✅ Strength & mobility built in — durability to stay healthy and finish strong
Perfect For
First-time 70.3 athletes who want a straightforward, confidence-building plan
Experienced racers seeking smarter pacing and fueling practice
Busy athletes who need clarity and structure without extreme volume
Optional Add-Ons (recommended)
✅ Strength & Conditioning (25–40′, 1–2×/wk)
✅ Mobility/Recovery (5–10′, little & often)
✅ Technique boosters across swim, bike, and run
