This trainingsplan is made for someone who's:
- Main goal is to finish his/her first sprint triathlon
- Able to swim breaststroke/freestyle
- Able to cycle at least half an hour without stopping
- Able to run at least half an hour without stopping
Do you tick all of the boxes above? Then this is your trainingsplan for the coming 12 weeks!
Some things up front:
- In most of the workouts RPE (Rate of perceived exertion) is used. If you do not know what this is, you can google it. In short, it's a way to describe the intensity of a workout, without heart rate of power. So no need for fancy equipment.
- The swimming workouts are the minimal dose to finish the race. If you want to work on technique I recommend to hire a swimming/triathlon coach for this specific part of swimming or join the local swimming club.
