This beginner-friendly, 8-week training plan is for the first- or second-year triathlete who is entered in an standard-distance Triathlon. Start this plan about 8 weeks before your race. Other than health confirmed by your physician and a strong desire to finish the race, there are no prerequisites for starting this training plan. The weekly training progresses gradually from 3 to about 6 hours per week usually including 2 swims, 2 bikes and 2 runs. After following this plan for a minimum of 8 weeks, on race day you will be able to swim 1500 meters, bike 40 kilometers (25 miles), and run 10km (6.2 miles).
