Training plan designed by White Pine Athletics' Head Coach Kyle McFarland
This is a 24-week, Full Distance Triathlon structured training plan ideal for the intermediate to advanced triathlete aiming to race their fastest Full Distance Triathlon.
It is strongly recommended that you have previously completed at least an olympic or Half distance triathlon, and can comfortably complete the following distances:

Included in the plan:
- Initial testing protocol

Smart trainer or power meter is encouraged, heart rate monitor not required but strongly encouraged.
With a background in Exercise Physiology, I believe in training protocols that are science-based and research-driven. My goal as a coach is to help my athletes apply the proper combination of training stress, intensity, and rest/recovery modalities that will result in peak performance conditions at their target events.
I don't promise success - you need to put in the work for that - but I do offer a plan to guide you along the way.
