So you've decided you want to do a full distance triathlon!
This is a plan for those athletes wanting to structure their training safely and effectively. Those with a consistent, solid training history looking to target an event and give it more than a good go. A capable, smart build that will take you to that start line feeling fresh, ready to race, and prepped for a great day!
Ideally you'll have completed a half ironman or a couple of olympic distance events prior. The plan builds up from a relatively low level of fitness, but it's advised that prior to starting the plan you can at least:
- swim 1000m non-stop (at any pace)
- Cycle for at least 50km non-stop (At any pace)
- Run for at least 12km non-stop (at any pace)
The plan is primarily focussed around triathlon however does incorporate some yoga recommendations and strength sessions.
All that is left is for you to get started!

Keep the fun and adventure in training...
I've coached everything from Guinness World Records (70 half ironmen in 70 days), to international age-group podiums, and athletes running their first 5km.
As an elite athlete, medical student and researcher I spend my time mulling over performance improvements, exercise physiology and how we can use sport to improve health and wellbeing. I value people who dream big and overcome adversity, love adventure and being sustainable long-term.
Let's do it!
