10 Week Low Volume Sprint Distance Training Plan
This plan gives you the minimal training you need to complete an Sprint distance triathlon. It is a good plan for triathletes who want to do their first Sprint distance race with a low-volume training plan.
You are given a 4 week Base Phase to help you build the endurance needed to finish an Sprint triathlon.
There are 6 workouts a week, two swims, two bikes and two runs which includes a brick day. There is a brick session every week which will help you acclimate to the feeling of running off the bike and master your transition skills.
The build phase is 4 weeks which you will gain strength, technique and build your race skills.
Weeks 4, 8, are recovery weeks, during these weeks the plan has opportunities to test your increased fitness. These tests will also help set your pacing for the run and swim and heart rate for the bike.
Race week I give you some tips about what to bring to the race and nutrition on the bike and the run.
If you are short on time you can skip weeks 6 and 9 this will give you an 8 week plan with race week on week 9
As a USAT certified coach and multiple IM athlete, I create training plans that work around an athletes life. I believe hard work pays off but over training is never the answer. I develop training plans that are unique to the athletes needs based on their current fitness level, past race experiences, lifestyle, race goals and injuries. Communication with my athletes is pivotal to their success so when they show up on the start line they know that their training has prepared them for race day.
