Plan Description

This 30-Week Wales Long-Distance Triathlon Plan is a premium, course-specific program designed for first-time long-distance athletes targeting the iconic Tenby long-course triathlon—one of Europe’s most demanding 140.6-distance events.

Built around the unique terrain of west Wales, this plan prepares you for steep coastal climbs, rolling roads, technical descents, and a tough multi-lap run through Tenby’s energetic streets.

Created by Enduraprep Head Coach Lawrence Cronk, who has coached well over 100 Tenby long-distance triathlon finishes—including first-timers, top age-group athletes, and multiple World Championship qualifiers—this plan offers a safe, progressive, and realistic path to your first finish.
