Sprint Distance Intermediate Plan
Author: Mike Ricci, USAT Coach of the Year
Starts: Anytime
Length: 12 Weeks
Time: 84 hours
This program should be used by an athlete in their second year or triathlon or beyond. The program consists of 3 workouts per week in each sport, 1-2 days of strength training and core work too. The maximum volume is around 11 hours pretty consistently and some of the easier weeks are around 6 hours.
Requirements: Requirements: You should be able to swim at least 500 yards. You should be able to bike at least 60 minutes and be able to run/walk for 60 minutes. It’s ok if you have to use the run/walk method for the running. If you are a weak swimmer or runner, you can certainly do the best you can on your weaker events but its best if you are already up to the base fitness levels suggested. By race day we will have you ready when you toe the line! We’ll guide you every step of the way with a detailed plan and free complimentary access to our D3 Message Forum.
Our programs are designed for the age group triathlete who has a busy life with a full time job, a family and / or other responsibilities.

Purchase of this plan includes our 'Training Terminology' and our "How to use Intensity" documents. You’ll also have access to our online videos for run drills. We leave no stone unturned in trying to get you to reach your goals!
During the training plan, there is testing every few weeks throughout the program to test your fitness level so you can re-adjust your HR Zones if you train with a HRM. If you don’t train with a HRM, that’s fine as the tests are still good training and you can measure improvement based on time.
Most importantly, purchase of this program includes complimentary access to the D3 Forum at any time for questions that you may have about this plan.
