OLYMPIC Distance Triathlon Training Program - Intermediate Level - 20 week Sunday Race

Author

All plans by this Coach

Length

20 Weeks

Plan Description

PURPOSE: This is an Intermediate level Olympic Distance training plan intended for use by the age group triathlete. Training time ranges from 7 hours up to 11 hours of weekly training.

Purchase of this plan includes:
✔ Triathlon Training Manual
✔ email access to a USAT certified coach

The goal is to gradually build fitness while building confidence. Every workout has a purpose labeled by the training zone (i.e Bike Z3). These can be accomplished by using RPE, Heart rate, and/or power meter for bike and run. Training zones are established via metabolic testing, calculations based on age, and/or Benchmark testing, included in this plan.

With the busy age group athlete in mind, weekday workouts have light volume of 1 to 2.5 hours, which can be split between morning, afternoon, or evenings. Weekends include the long ride and run. I am happy to make modifications to workout days as requested.

By the end of the 20 week training cycle, you will have a high level of fitness required to successfully complete an Olympic distance event (1500 meter swim, 40 K bike, and 10 K run).

I want to wish you luck with your training and racing this season and thank you for using this training plan.
