Couch to Olympic in 16 Weeks
Each month, you will progressively build duration and intensity over 3 weeks followed by a lower volume, recovery week.
Who is this for?
IIn addition to 16 week's worth of swimming, biking, running, and strength training workouts, we also include 3 INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS, one before each phase of training. Coach Wendy explains how each training block is organized and structured. This is a multimedia approach along with LINKS to drills, heart rate, and pace training so you know the purpose and effort of each workout.
This plan is recommended for athletes who currently can:
Swim 500 meters/yards
Bike 30 minutes
And run 2 miles.
I used the concept of periodization to maximize peak performance in this plan. Where each month, you will progressively build duration and intensity over 3 weeks followed by a lower volume, recovery week.
Why this plan?
This 16-week plan starts with 2 days in the pool, 2 days on the bike, 2 days running, and 2 days of strength training and builds up to 3 swims, 3 bikes, and 3 runs, over time reducing strength to 1 day per week.
Monday is the scheduled rest day and the longer workouts are on the weekend. Duration ranges from 3-9 hours per week. Intensity is set to your Rate of Perceived Effort (RPE), heart rate, power, or pace. Generally, most beginners train with RPE.
This is a time-based program with suggestions on key workouts to focus on distance.
Here is where you should be on specific weeks:
- At the end of 8 weeks, you should be comfortable running a 10k event
- At the end of 16 weeks, you should be comfortable completing a Sprint Distance Triathlon.
- At the end of 16 weeks, you should be comfortable finishing an Olympic Distance Triathlon.
