How the plan is structured

The plan is 16 weeks long and features two swims, two bike rides, and two runs per week, plus one rest day. The training load builds gradually from week to week (except in weeks 3, 6, 9, and 12, which are recovery weeks, and weeks 15 and 16, which are taper weeks), beginning at 3 hours and 22 minutes of training and peaking at 6 hours and 24 minutes in Week 14.

80/20 Endurance

80/20 Endurance

80/20 Endurance is the creation of Matt Fitzgerald and David Warden. Based on the breakthrough books 80/20 Running and 80/20 Triathlon, runners, triathletes, and other endurance athletes improve the most when they consistently do 80 percent of their training at low intensity and the other 20 percent high intensity. The typical endurance athlete spends only 50-70 percent their total training time at low intensity. The solution? An 80/20 training plan that ensures the optimal intensity balance.
