Plan Description

⭐FREE - Beginner Sprint Triathlon Training Starts Here - USE CODE: CAPTEX26

Triathlon isn’t harder than you think — it’s simply more structured than you’ve been shown.

What most beginners misunderstand isn’t the training… it’s the story they tell themselves.
You don’t need elite fitness, fancy gear, or perfect knowledge. You just need a plan that works like a GPS for your fitness — showing you exactly where to go, one turn at a time.

Feeling unsure? Good. That’s normal. Every triathlete starts with “I’m not sure I can do this,” and ends with “I can’t believe how far I’ve come.”

This 12-Week Beginner Sprint Training Plan for the CapTex Tri transforms confusion into clarity, fear into curiosity, and small wins into identity shifts.

💡 How This Plan Makes Triathlon Feel “Surprisingly Doable”
✔ Swim Confidence for Lady Bird Lake

You’ll build relaxed, efficient technique for the 750m swim — access drills (w/video) that teach sighting, rhythm, and calm breathing. By week three, you’ll notice you’re no longer “trying to swim”… you’re becoming a swimmer.

✔ Bike Strength & Speed Without Overthinking It

The 12.3-mile flat Austin course rewards power and control. Structured intervals guide you automatically — no guesswork — so you learn how to ride strong on straightaways and stay smooth through turns.

✔ Run Readiness for a Strong Downtown Finish

Brick workouts help you experience the “bike-to-run feeling” early, so race day feels familiar, not frightening. Your legs learn the rhythm before your mind even questions it.

✔ Progression That Feels Safe, Not Scary

A simple 3-weeks-on / 1-week-recovery rhythm keeps you improving while preventing burnout. The plan does the thinking for you so you can focus on becoming the athlete you’re becoming.

✔ Taper Week That Removes All Anxiety

You’ll arrive rested, sharp, and ready — knowing exactly what to do, when to do it, and why it works.

⭐ Why This Works for True Beginners

Because it removes the biggest obstacle: decision overload.
You don’t have to guess pacing, mileage, intensity, or progression.
Just follow the steps — and watch yourself transform.

Every completed workout is evidence:
You’re already turning into a triathlete.

👉 *Commit to the plan. Trust the structure. Start Date March 2,2026
