Andrew's 10 Week Intermediate Preparation Plan (Full or Half Distance) w/access to Coach

Author

All plans by this Coach

Length

10 Weeks

Plan Description

This is a 10-week plan to get you started before moving into your base training. It's perfect for full distance race or half distance race prep. It's about 9 hours per week.

It includes tips and guidance on things like bike and run cadence, nutrition, and how to prepare for your race.

Such a plan is great for the off-season or for athletes that are just ramping up before moving into more intense weekly plans.

It starts with benchmarking for the swim, bike, and run (FTP test, and time trials) and used power for the bike, assuming you have a smart trainer and/or a power meter.

TESTIMONIALS

I started working with Andrew in July 2024 without any background in triathlon. By providing a personalized training plan and frequently discussing this with me, he helped me to successfully participate in my first Olympic triathlon race by October!

I appreciate Andrew's passion for the sport, his breadth of knowledge, his personalized approach, and his positivity.

Would highly recommend Andrew for anyone who wants to step into the world of triathlon.

-Bert Wouters

Coach Andrew's approachability and quick responses played a crucial role in my triathlon success. Under his expert guidance, I not only reduced an impressive 35 minutes in my last race but also appreciated the personalized plans tailored to my needs.

Grateful for Coach Andrew's commitment and highly recommend him to anyone seeking significant improvements in their triathlon performance.
