Plan Description


16-Week Training Plan Preview



Plan Preview Video with Coach Wendy


In addition to 16 weeks' worth of running workouts, we also include 3 instructional videos, one before each phase of training. Coach Wendy explains how each training block is organized and structured.


This is a multimedia approach, complete with links to drills, heart rate, and pace training so you understand the purpose and effort of each workout.



Training Overview



This 16-week plan starts with:


  • 4 days of swimming

  • 1 day of cycling

  • 1 day of running

  • 2 days of strength training


It gradually builds up to 6 days of swimming per week. Monday is a scheduled rest day, and the longer workouts are typically on the weekend.


Training duration ranges from 3 to 8 hours per week, and intensity is based on Rate of Perceived Effort (RPE). Athletes can adjust to heart rate, power, or pace as needed. Generally, beginners benefit from training with RPE, while advanced athletes may focus on power.



Progressive Training



Each month, you will progressively build both duration and intensity for 3 weeks, followed by a recovery week with lower volume.
The progression is based on swim distance, so the time to complete each workout will vary depending on individual experience.
