Plan Description

This plan is targeted towards the completion of a 1/2 distance race.
This plan is progressive in nature with a gradual and steady build in intensity and volume throughout a periodized schedule.
This plan is best suited for athletes with good experience with endurance sport training. I would not recommend this plan for a beginner. An athlete who considers themselves "intermediate" could use this program in conjunction with coach support.
Full coaching support is available for this program. Email darian@teamatomica.com for more info.

All run and bike workouts can be fully integrated with smart trainers through online training platforms (such as TrainerRoad, Zwift etc.) which are able to integrate TrainingPeaks workouts. Please see the TrainingPeaks website for more technical information.
