16 Week Intermediate Training Plan for athletes looking to complete a half distance Triathlon and who have some experience in completing standard length triathlons.

This programme encompasses a build phase to improve and develop an athlete's sport focused fitness across the first 8 weeks, followed by a period at peak training and a taper in the final couple of weeks leading to an event.

This plan does not incorporate strength training sessions within the week and instead increases the duration of the Sunday long Z2 run.

There are two rest days across the week, enabling a person to schedule fatigue recovery phases, particularly around higher intensity and strength efforts, and ensure the training continues to progress and not plateau.

An alternative 703 Training Plan is available with strength workouts scheduled should an athlete wish to also improve their muscle power and recoverability.
