Plan Description




  • Plan is intended for a triathlete who has just completed a long-distance triathlon (swim = 4k, bike = 180k, run = 42.2k)




This is a four-week recovery plan designed for a triathlete who has just completed a long-distance triathlon on the previous weekend and starts on the Monday following the race.


This plan guides the user safely, day-by-day through a gradual return to normal training. Training volume gradually increases with changes in intensity remaining small throughout. The emphasis is on general body strength, skill enhancement, and aerobic endurance fitness. At the end of the plan you will be ready to start Base 3 training in preparation for the next race of the season.


To get this plan for free, use coupon code “free” when prompted.




After your event, please provide feedback on how this plan worked for you. Thanks again for your interest in my training plans, and I hope your training and racing go very well this season.
