Beginner Triathlon Program
Length
12 Weeks
Plan Description
This 12 week plan is for the beginner to intermediate athlete planning to do a Sprint triathlon. A triathlete needs a plan that will prepare them for the conditions of the race.
This is the same plan I have used to train my beginner triathlon group training program to successfully complete the Chicago Triathlon race in 2018. This group consisted of many athletes who were first time racers, and beginner and intermediate level triathletes.
The plan starts out with a focus on building a base of fitness through better fundamentals and technique, and progresses to more specific race intensities as the event draws closer.
This plan utilizes zones and perceived exertion to quantify intensity levels for each workout.
