Plan Description

Meticulously crafted from the principles laid out in Matt Fitzgerald and David Warden's best-selling book 80/20 Triathlon, this plan will provide the athlete with the same workout structure used by the most successful triathletes in the world. Each week, cycle, and the complete 19-week plan has been specifically formulated to match the research articulated in Fitzgerald's publications and ensures the triathlete adheres to the 80/20 principle.

Target Athlete

This plan is appropriate for athletes whose goal is to finish their Olympic event as one of the top performers in their age group and silence their rivals forevermore. It assumes you have previously completed several endurance events and can already comfortably swim and run for one hour, cycle for 90 minutes, and complete at least six hours of weekly aerobic exercise over seven days. The weekly training load begins at approximately 9.25 hours in Week 1 and peaks at approximately 13 hours in Week 13.

Level Guarantee

Purchasers of this plan will be able to contact the authors Matt Fitzgerald and David Warden directly in order to request clarification on any items that may be unclear in the plan.
