About The 44WK Beginner Training Plan -
🏋️♂️ Say goodbye to tedious base mileage and prerequisite training! Our plan kicks off with a dynamic 12-week specific Half DIST base training regimen, followed by an intensive 32-week Half Iron training plan. Week 13 marks the start of your journey with 9.5 hours of targeted training, gradually building up to a maximum of 14 hours by week 39.
During the foundational 12-week phase, a premium is placed on building strength, conditioning, and base endurance. Dive deep into technique during our swim training segments, setting the stage for success.
Once the base phase is conquered, we elevate your training with a focus on strength, endurance, and refining swim techniques. Get ready to experience the power of V02 Interval Training as we push boundaries and unlock your full potential.
