Plan Description

8-Week Beginner Sprint Triathlon Training Plan | EveryDayTri

This 8-week beginner triathlon training plan from EveryDayTri is designed for athletes preparing for their first sprint triathlon or returning to structured training after a break.

The programme provides a simple, structured approach to swim, bike, and run training, helping you build fitness, confidence, and race readiness in just eight weeks. Sessions are based on Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE), so you don’t need to know your training zones or use complex data—making it ideal for beginner triathletes.

Perfect For:

First-time sprint triathlon athletes

Beginners looking for a clear triathlon training plan

Athletes returning to training after time off

Busy people who need a time-efficient programme

What’s Included:

Structured swim, bike, and run workouts

Key brick sessions to prepare for race day

Gradual weekly progression with built-in recovery

Optional help setting heart rate or pace training zones

Coach support to adjust sessions if needed

By the end of the plan, you’ll be fitter, more confident, and ready to complete your first sprint triathlon.

Created by EveryDayTri – practical triathlon training designed for real life.
