Plan Description

Your 17 Week Olympic Distance Plan from a Level 3 British Triathlon Coach

Welcome to your training plan!


This 17-week training plan is for beginners and experienced triathletes who want a low volume plan.

In order to be able complete the training you should have a reasonable level of fitness at the start of the training. A pre-requisite would be that you can comfortably swim for 45 minutes, bike for 60 minutes and run for 45 minutes. You should be comfortable with 4 hours of aerobic exercise over a week.
You should consult your doctor before embarking on any physical fitness training.

The training sessions can be completed in a number of locations. The swim sessions are mostly designed for a pool, with open water sessions towards the latter half of the program. The bike sessions could be done either outdoors or indoors, the same goes for the running sessions. Ideally some of the running session should be done on a 400m track. We would strongly advise that you do spend as much time as possible training outdoors so that you get time training in similar conditions to those that you will be racing in.

I have set Monday as your rest day which will enable you to recover from the longer sessions at the weekend.

The first 12 weeks is your general preparation phase and peaks at 9.5 hours in week 11
Weeks 13 and 14 are the Race Specific Phase
Weeks 15 and 16 are your Taper Phase
Week 17 is your race recovery week.

* Remember to set your finish date one week after your race date due to the 1 week of recovery following your race day when you load the plan*

The Plan Includes:

- Swim, Bike, Run & Transition/Brick Sessions
- Strength & Conditioning session to help prevent injuries (from a NASM Personal Trainer)
- Bike sessions include Heart Rate structured files for Garmin, Coros, Polar etc
- Run & Swim sessions have structured Heart Rate targets for Garmin, Coros, Polar etc
- Access to your coach via email
- Training and Racing Tips
