โœ… Progressive load โ€” start at 9.5 hours of training in Week 13 and peak at 14 hours by Week 39.

โœ… Performance-focused โ€” structured swim technique, heart rate/RPE-based run and bike sessions, and strength training tailored for new triathletes.

โœ… Advanced techniques โ€” VO2 interval training, endurance building, and anaerobic threshold workouts sharpen your edge for race day.
