Plan Description

Creator: Maria Simone, No Limits Endurance Coaching

Length: 24 weeks

Weekly Duration (average): 13 hours (includes recovery weeks in average)

Ability level: Intermediate


This 24-week plan is ideal for intermediate athlete who will be racing Lake Placid or a similarly hilly 140.6 course. This plan is built with the assumption that the athlete has previously trained for and race a 140.6 distance race.

The plan includes information about how to set your zones: 1) Heart rate for bike and run; 2) Power for Bike, 3) Pace for swim and run. Bike workouts are structured by power. Run workouts are structured by a mix of heart rate (for endurance runs) and pace (for speed and tempo runs).

Prior to starting this plan, you should be able to swim 2000 yards, bike 3 hours continuously, and run 75-90 minutes continuously. The plan includes swim sessions 3x/week, cycling 3-4x/week, and running 4x/week. The plan starts off with about 10 hours, and will peak out to 19-20 hours (dependent on swim & run paces, as some of those are scheduled using pace & distance, rather than duration).

This plan was created by a USA Triathlon Level 3 certified coach with 15 years of coaching experience, and an athletic history that includes 10x 140.6 finishes, including 4 finishes at IMLP, and finishing the World Championships in Kona. Coach Maria is also a double iron-distance champion, and accomplished ultrarunner. Maria has been named as the USA Triathlon Coach Education of the Year, and the Coach of the Year,from Outspoken Woman in Triathlon.

This plan does not come with regular coach correspondence. However, anyone who purchases the plan may have a one-time email consult - maria@nolimitsendurance.com. I recommend you take the time to review the entire plan and take note of any questions you have. Then, email them to maximize this correspondence. If you'd like a phone or video consult, you get 20% off the current rate.
