Plan Description

⚡Who this plan is for

Experienced long‑distance triathletes targeting podiums or top age‑group results at the toughest races (Ironman, XTRi, Slate & Snowman, Haute Route‑style endurance events). You should have a solid training base and previous race experience.
Why this plan works

⚡Built from the exact preparation principles used by multiple winners and podium athletes (Ironman Wales 2023 & 2025 winners; 2024 Ironman Wales 2nd place woman; XTRi Celtman 2025 3rd; Slate & Snowman 2024 winner).

The plan starts with testing and a fundamentals‑first base to support long‑term gains, then progressively develops durability, fatigue resistance and race‑specific endurance.
Periodised intensity progression and race simulations let you refine fuelling, pacing and confidence so you arrive at race day ready to perform.
What’s included

⚡Full season plan (34 weeks) with TrainingPeaks workout files for seamless device sync.

- Initial physiological testing protocols and clear testing windows.
- Base block prioritising technique development, aerobic foundation and low‑hanging performance gains.

- Peak block with race‑specific intensity, pacing rehearsals and fuelling simulations.

⚡Optional add‑ons
