The Beginner Olympic Distance plan is geared towards those doing their first olympic distance triathlon. It includes 2-3 swim workouts each week, 3 run workouts each week, 2-3 bike sessions each week, brick sessions, strength sessions, rest days, and field tests to set up your run, bike and swim heart rate and pace zones. Before starting this plan, you should be running 2-3 times per week, 30-45 min each session, be able to swim 600-800 yards at a time, and be biking at least twice per week, 30-45 min each session.
