80/20 Triathlon: 2020 Edition Sprint Level 1 (Run Power and Bike HR, 5.5 to 8.5 Hours per Week)

Meticulously crafted from the principles laid out in Matt Fitzgerald's bestselling book 80/20 Triathlon, this Sprint Level 1 training plan will provide you with the same workout structure used by the most successful triathletes in the world. It has been specifically formulated to ensure the athlete adheres to the 80/20 principle.

Target Athlete

This plan is designed for any triathlete, beginner or experienced, who needs or prefers a low-volume training plan for the sprint distance. Before you begin, you should be comfortably able to swim and run for 45 minutes, cycle for 60 minutes, and complete at least four total hours of aerobic exercise over seven days. The weekly training volume starts at approximately six hours in Week 1 and peaks at approximately 8.5 hours in Week 13.

Lifetime Plan

All purchased 80/20 Endurance plans become a permanent part of your TrainingPeaks plan library. You can start, stop, and reuse the plan as often as you like, beginning or ending at any point in the plan.

Level Guarantee

Not sure which level is right for you? Review our Level Comparison Chart to find the best fit. Additionally, each 80/20 plan comes with a Level Guarantee: If you discover that the level you have selected is too hard or too easy for you, simply contact us for a complimentary switch to a different level within the same distance.

100% Structured Workouts

This plan leverages the TrainingPeaks structured workout feature with power-based workouts on the run and HR-based workouts on the bike. Each workout can be exported to a supported device, which will automatically guide you through the session with duration, lap, and intensity prompts. Workouts do not have to be exported to be performed effectively, as the detailed descriptions provide all the information you need to successfully complete the workout. See our Structured Workout page for more information.

Support

Robust support and documentation for your plan can be found at the 80/20 Resources page. You will be able to contact the authors directly to request clarification on any issue.
