Plan Description

she does tri“It's never too late to be what you might have been.” - George Elliot

Especially designed for female age group triathletes with full time jobs and other commitments, the single goal of this 14-week training plan is to set you up for YOUR Full Distance Triathlon (2.4-mi swim / 112-mi bike / 26.2-mi run) SUCCESS on race day.

Hand-crafted by USA Triathlon-certified coach and elite triathlete Krista Schultz, MEd, CSCS this plan encapsulates her exercise physiology expertise with more than a decade of experience as an endurance athlete and coaching hundreds of other athletes to success.

Starting 14 weeks before your target race (week 1 is race week), this plan progresses through two base periods and one build period (16.5-18 hrs max per week) prior to peaking and tapering. Each week typically contains 3x swims, 3x bikes and 3x runs plus 1 BRICK run. During the plan, you will build up to: 3,800 yards (or meters) swimming, 5-6 hours biking and 2.5 hours running. Your weekly schedule includes optional time allocation for strength exercises and a designated off day (Monday). We recommend using a heart rate monitor in conjunction with perceived effort but you may use power as well.

Purchase of this plan includes the comprehensive 40+ page ENDURANCEWORKS Triathlon Training Guide, which explains how to use your training plan, and, as an added bonus, Build and Maintain: Strength Training for Triathletes.

Prior to using this plan, you should be able to complete the following workouts:
• Swim: 500 meters or yards continuously
• Bike: 2.5 hours continuously
• Run: 80 minutes continuously or run/walk combination

Please note: This plan assumes your target race is either Saturday or Sunday. You can start the plan any Monday or you can set the plan to end on the Sunday of race weekend.
