"I really like your style and feel that I have a virtual coach at my side during training. After I do my first sprint triathlon next week I’d like to sign up for another plan." Toby Garritt, Bali, May 2017
"Your plan combined with TrainingPeaks is perfect. It made my first triathlon season very enjoyable. Although I was nervous going into the Sprint, I absolutely crushed it. Came in 3rd place in the Newbie division. When I crossed the finish line I felt great!" Mike O'Reilly, August 2018

This plan is designed to get you in peak shape for your target "A" race at Sprint Distance, although you can include other events too. There are 2 swims, 2 cycles, 2 runs and a strength workout per week. There's a day off each week and every fourth week is easier. Later in the plan there are brick workouts and open water swims. To commence this plan you should already be able to swim 800m with frequent rests, ride 25 mins, run 15 mins, not all on same day. Guidance is provided for Heart Rate, Feel, Power or Pace. You can start this plan any Monday.
Still not sure? We will happily switch your plan within 14 days of purchase.

I have 20 years experience of helping amateur athletes surpass their goals, while still making sure they have quality time available for family, friends and career. As a parent who works for a living, I know how challenging this can be.
My training plans are intelligently designed around a typical work week. I set proven, time-efficient workouts in mid-week, with longer aerobic workouts at the weekends. This gives you the structure and consistency you need to continually improve.
