Plan Description

We include a Swim, Bike and Run Course Preview video for this event!

In addition to 24 week's worth of swimming, biking, running and strength training workouts, we also included 5 INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS, one before each phase of training. Coach Wendy explains how each training block is organized and structured. This is a multimedia approach along with LINKS to drills, heart rate, and pace training so you know the purpose and effort of each workout.

We also include a 2023 Swim, Bike and Run Course Preview video for this event!

This 24-week plan starts with 2 days of swimming, 2 days of biking, 2 days of running, and 2 days of strength training and builds up to 3 swim, 3 bikes, and 3 runs, over time reducing strength to 1 day per week.

Monday is the scheduled rest day and the longer workouts are on the weekend. Duration ranges from 5-14 hours per week. Intensity is set to your Rate of Perceived Effort (RPE), heart rate, power or pace. Generally most beginners train with RPE.

This plan is recommended for athletes who currently are able to swim 1000 meters/yards, bike 2 hours minutes, and run 1 hour. Each month, you will progressively build duration and intensity over 3 weeks followed by a lower volume, recovery week.

At the end of 8 weeks, is a scheduled Olympic DistanceTriathlon.
At the end of 12 weeks, is scheduled Olympic or Half Marathon or Half Ironman.
At the end of 16 weeks, is a scheduled Olympic or another Half Ironman.
At the end of 24 weeks, Ironman Florida!
