Plan Description

This eight-week sprint plan is a simple to follow plan for beginner to intermediate triathletes. It is a low-to-moderate-volume plan that is appropriate for beginners and also those who have experience in the sport of triathlon, but have limited time to train. The plan prescribes 2 swims, 2 bikes, and 3 runs per week. The weekly volume ranges from 4 to 7.5 hours. This is a Monday to Sunday plan, so the plan should be applied to your Training Peaks account with a Monday start date. If your race is on a Saturday, we suggest modifying the final week, rather than starting the plan on a Sunday, so that your long workouts still fall on the weekends. Friday is the rest day as this plan is written and the 4th week is a rest week.
