Get 70.3 Ready is a 26-week beginner-focused triathlon training plan that guides you through the entire process with clarity, balance, and confidence. It’s built for athletes who want to train consistently, understand why they’re doing each session, and arrive on race day feeling prepared, not burnt out or unsure.
Rather than pushing intensity early, this plan focuses on:
- Gradual progression
- Smart endurance
- Clear weekly structure
- Built-in recovery
- Practical fuelling habits
Every week includes guidance to help you train with purpose, not guesswork.
Every phase builds logically toward race day.
And every long session is designed to develop confidence as well as fitness.
This is not an elite plan scaled down for beginners. It’s a beginner-first program, built from the ground up to support athletes through their first triathlon experience or their first step into long-course racing.
💡 WHAT MAKES THIS PLAN DIFFERENT
✔ Beginner-First Design
- This plan assumes you’re learning, not that you already know everything.
- Sessions are explained clearly, pacing is realistic, and progression is steady and achievable.
✔ Balanced Swim, Bike & Run Training
- No single discipline dominates the plan. You’ll build:
- Swim confidence and efficiency
- Bike endurance without boredom or burnout
- Run durability with injury-aware progression
This balance is essential for first-time triathletes.
✔ Structured Endurance That Stays Engaging
- Long sessions are purposeful and varied, using simple structure to keep endurance training mentally engaging without adding unnecessary intensity.
- You build aerobic fitness and learn how to pace, fuel, and focus.
✔ Fueling & Hydration Are Taught, Not Assumed
- Fueling mistakes are one of the biggest reasons first-time athletes struggle on race day.
- This plan introduces fueling gradually and practically, so race-day nutrition feels familiar and manageable.
✔ Recovery Is Built In — On Purpose
- Recovery weeks and lighter days are planned, not accidental. This helps you:
- Stay consistent
- Reduce injury risk
- Absorb training
- Build confidence instead of fatigue
✔ Optional Free Setup & Confidence Check
- If you’re unsure about training zones, you can complete a free Setup & Confidence Check before starting the plan. Email Thrive.Multisport.Coaching@gmail.com to receive a series of 5 emails to get ready to start.
