Featuring the proven 80/20 intensity balance described in Fitzgerald and Warden's bestselling book 80/20 Triathlon, this Triathlon Maintenance training plan will provide you with the same workout structure used by the most successful triathletes in the world.


TARGET ATHLETE


This plan is intended for triathletes of all abilities, who can already comfortably swim for 30 minutes, bike for 60 minutes, and run for 35 minutes. It is designed to bridge the gap until the start of a formal training plan, or to maintain triathlon fitness during an extended race period.

INTENSITY TYPE : POWER


This plan presents the run and bike workout intensity targets by Power, and the swim by Pace, but other intensity type versions of this plan are also available.

Plan Benefits



LIFETIME PLAN


Every 80/20 Endurance plan purchased becomes a permanent part of your TrainingPeaks plan library. You can start, stop, and reuse the plan as often as you like, beginning or ending at any point in the plan.


INTENSITY METRIC GUARANTEE


Not sure which level is right for you? Review our Level Comparison Charts to find the best fit. Our Intensity Metric Guarantee allows you to switch to a different intensity type for your run (HR, PACE & POWER) and bike workouts (HR & Power) with your purchased level and distance plan.


100% STRUCTURED WORKOUTS


Each workout can be exported to a supported device, which will automatically guide you through the session with duration, lap, and intensity prompts. All swim workouts in our Triathlon Plans are now FORM goggle compatible. Check out this VIDEO to see how easy it is to follow your 80/20 Endurance structured swim workouts straight from your goggles. See our Structured Workout page for more information.

PLAN SUPPORT


Robust support and documentation for your plan can be found at the 80/20 Resources page. You will also be able to contact the authors directly via our popular Forums to request clarification on any issue.

80/20 Endurance

80/20 Endurance

80/20 Endurance is the creation of Matt Fitzgerald and David Warden. Based on the breakthrough books 80/20 Running and 80/20 Triathlon, runners, triathletes, and other endurance athletes improve the most when they consistently do 80 percent of their training at low intensity and the other 20 percent high intensity. The typical endurance athlete spends only 50-70 percent their total training time at low intensity. The solution? An 80/20 training plan that ensures the optimal intensity balance.
