Plan Description
This plan helps triathletes with a well-established aerobic base build intensity and taper for their target long-course event. It builds upon the previous plans in this series, the 20-week Base Training plans for long course triathlon training. Use this plan to build upon your aerobic base over the final 6 to 8 weeks before your A-priority race, sharpening your fitness with anaerobic VO2max training.
The two plans that lead up to this plan are:
- Triathlon Pre-Base Prep (8 weeks)
- Triathlon Base Training (20 weeks) + Event Taper (4 weeks)
Consult the Alp Fitness website (alpfitness.com) for supplemental videos, tools and resources to use along with this plan. Train smart!
