Plan Description
All of our training plans are created using the same time-tested and proven training principles that have guided our 1-on-1 Coaching athletes to thousands of individual PR’s. If you’re ready to take your training to the next level, this is your ticket.
This plan, peaking at 15 hours of weekly volume, is created specifically for an athlete targeting a half distance race with at least 20 weeks of preparation time and has a realistic expectation of completing their race between 6.5 and 8.5 hours. It’s recommended that an athlete is capable of completing a 1,500 meter/yard swim, a 1.5 hour cycling workout and a 60 minute run before beginning this plan. As long as you can meet those thresholds, this is the plan for you!
This plan is created to be a complete training cycle, including:
- Five weeks of base fitness training
- Six weeks of build training, including speed work
- Two weeks of overload training
- Three weeks of taper and race preparation
- Recovery weeks separating each training block
Each of our training plans are created to cater to the lifestyle of a busy triathlete. Long workouts are scheduled for the weekends, and weekday workouts are kept to the minimum volume to deliver the necessary stress for fitness adaptation.
Once this plan is purchased, it belongs to you. It can be used in full, in part, started, stopped, recycled – it’s yours and it can be used over and over, if you desire. In addition, it comes with a thorough “Getting Started” document which details how to set training zones. It also includes a terminology glossary, fueling guidelines, and other useful information.
If you have any questions about our training plans, any of our coaching services, or any of our add-on services, please don’t hesitate to contact us via email at coaching@peakathleticcollective.com.
We’re serious about triathlon and serious about you enjoying your triathlon journey!
