Plan Description
Your 16 Week Olympic Distance Duathlon Beginner Plan from a Level 3 British Triathlon Coach
Welcome to your training plan!
This plan is intended for athletes with a goal of finishing their first Olympic or Standard Duathlon (10km/40km/5km) run-bike-run event.
Before you begin you should comfortably run for 30 minutes and cycle for 45 minutes and complete at least 3 total hours of aerobic exercise over seven days.
Your plan includes:
- Cycling, Running and S&C Sessions
- Training and Racing Tips
- Strength session to help avoid injuries
- Video and written sessions
- Running Heart Rate Session Targets for Gramin, Polar, Coros etc.
- Cycling Power targets for use with power meters and Apps like Zwift, TrainingPeaks Virtual, Wahoo, Rouvy etc.
- Email Access to your Coach
The weekly training volume starts at approximately 4 hours in week 1 and peaks at approximately 7.5 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 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.
