Olympic Triathlon Training Plan!
This plan is for any triathlete - beginner or experienced - that needs a low volume plan for their Olympic, Standard or 5150 triathlon race.
Before you begin you should comfortably swim and run for 45 minutes and cycle for 60 minutes and complete at least 4 total hours of aerobic exercise over seven days.
Your plan includes:
- Swimming, Cycling, Running and S&C Sessions
- Running with power sessions for Stryd etc
- FORM goggles swim sessions to send direct to your goggles
- Training and Racing Tips
- Strength session to help avoid injuries
- Video and written sessions
- RPE and Heart Rate Session Targets
- Power targets for Zwift, Stryd, Garmin etc
- Email Access to Coach
The weekly training volume starts at approximately 6 hours in week 1 and peaks at approximately 9.5 hours in week 11.
You should consult your doctor before embarking on any physical fitness training.
The training sessions can be completed in a number of locations. The swim sessions are mostly designed for a pool, with open water sessions towards the latter half of the program. The bike sessions could be done either outdoors or indoors, the same goes for the running sessions. We would strongly advise that you do spend as much time as possible training outdoors so that you get time training in similar conditions to those that you will be racing in.
