Plan Description

This program should be used by an athlete in their second year or triathlon or beyond. The program consists of 3 workouts per week in each sport, 1-2 days of strength training and core work too. The maximum volume is around 11 hours pretty consistently and some of the easier weeks are around 6 hours.

Requirements: You should be able to swim at least 500 yards. You should be able to bike at least 60 minutes and be able to run/walk for 60 minutes. It’s ok if you have to use the run/walk method for the running (more on that below). If you are a weak swimmer or runner, you can certainly do the best you can on your weaker events but its best if you are already up to the base fitness levels suggested.
