"The plan I used to train for my second Olympic this summer was amazing. It made a HUGE difference both mentally and physically. Not only was I faster but I enjoyed the training more." Grace Nalani, Sept 2015.
"Never a real athlete, and approaching 60, I bought your low volume training program. I found it to be clear, educational and with a perfect pace of progression. It took me safely from the couch to the race. Thanks for helping me achieve an important personal goal. I feel great." John Clark 12th June 2018

This plan is designed to get you in peak shape for your target "A" race at Olympic Distance, although you can include other events too. There are 2 swims, 2 cycles, 2-3 runs and a strength workout per week. There's a day off each week and every fourth week is easier. Later in the plan there are brick workouts and open water swims. To commence this plan you should already be able to swim 800m with frequent rests, ride 40 mins, run 20 mins, not all on same day. Guidance is provided for Heart Rate, Feel, Power or Pace. You can start this plan any Monday.
