Plan Description

Super simple triathlon plan - no complex sets, no special equipment to buy. This plan is designed for the brand new triathlete to build a strong base of fitness to confidently complete their first sprint triathlon.

The athlete should be in reasonably good health, know how to swim and be able to complete a 30 minute workout, with breaks as necessary.

This plan prescribes a total of 6 workout per week- 2 swims, 2 bikes and 2 runs and at it's peak requires no more than 3:15 hrs of training for the week.

"This was the perfect plan to do my first tri with! The amount of training was easy fit in to my busy schedule, and I felt more than prepared on the day of the triathlon." -Tricia K.

"Perfect plan for beginners with little time! Went from never swimming a lap to killing my first triathlon!" -Jessica G.
