The goal of this plan is to prepare a beginner athlete for a Sprint Distance Triathlon. This plan specifically prepares the athlete for a course with a hilly bike. The course that this plan was created for is the Sun Devil Draft Legal Classic, but it can be applied to any sprint distance race.
The plan is made of two blocks, 2 building weeks and a recovery week and then a final taper week leading into the race.
You do not need a power meter, but you do need a GPS watch, familiarity with your 5k pace and regular swim equipment (pull buoy, snorkel, etc).
This training plan is meant to be used on your own, but if you need clarification, please feel free to reach out! If you like my style, I offer monthly individualized training plans!
Happy Training!!
