Plan Description

This 16 week program is perfect for the absolute beginner triathlete looking to finish their first triathlon!

Following this training plan will allow you to complete a variety of popular sprint triathlon distances. After completion of this program you will be prepared to swim 300-750 yards, bike 8-15 miles, and run 1-4 miles.

The 16 week program could be condensed to as less as 8 weeks if necessary.

This plan offers 1 rest day a week, 2 bikes, 2 runs, and 2 swims after 4 weeks of building volume. Rookie triathletes can look forward to testing their fitness on week 13 with the addition of a weekly BRICK (bike / run combo) workout.
