Thank you for selecting this Full Distance Triathlon training plan, proudly presented by LB Endurance.
The plan is intended for intermediate level triathletes that have completed some triathlons, and want to improve their performance at the Olympic (also called Intermediate or International) distance! The plan will prepare the athlete for an event with a 2.4 mile or 4000 meter swim, 112 mile or 180 km bike and 26.2 miles or 42 km run.
To start this plan, you should already be capable of swimming and biking at least two (up to four) times per week, and able to finish a run (can include walking) of at least one hour in duration. You should also be able to swim 2000 yards (or 45 minutes, with breaks) comfortably and bike for at least ninety minutes.
Each training week includes two or three swim workouts, bike workouts, and run workouts, plus one or two strength training sessions. You will also find one or two planned recovery days each week. Strength training and recovery are important to maintain the body, mind and soul while preparing for a triathlon.
Swim workouts are given as time and/or distance targets. Bike and run workouts are generally time based and bikes utilize Power for training zones.
Most bike workouts are provided as Structured Workouts that may be automatically downloaded to your training app or device, allowing easy use with virtual platforms like Zwift.
The plan also includes several tips and reminders to help you prepare for an enjoyable race day, including guidance on race fueling, gear, race planning and recovery.
Please have a doctor’s approval before starting this, or any exercise program.
