Plan Description

This is a training plan created by Endurance Strong is designed to prepare an Novice Triathlete for a Half Distance Triathlon Race (1.2mi/56mi/13.1mi or similar). On Non-Recovery Weeks this plan ranges from 10.75-15.75hrs/wk (including swimming) and 550-850TSS/wk (not including swimming). Recommended starting fitness would be a CTL in the high 40's or 50's, which our Novice Base Training Plans should arrive you at. This plan has notes on how and when to incorporate strength training but no other strength training guidance. Endurance Strong also offers this same Training Plan with a full Strength Training Plan included at a slightly higher price point (Best Value), as well as separate Strength Training Plans. This plan generally follows the sequence of:

- Monday - Swim Workout
- Tuesday – Run Intervals (Track) and Shorter Endurance Rides
- Wednesday - Swim Workout, Easy Run and Strength Training
- Thursday – Bike Interval / Threshold Workouts and Shorter Endurance Runs
- Friday - Endurance Swim and Easy Bike Ride
- Saturday – Bike Heavy Brick Workouts and Strength Training
- Sunday – Long Runs or Run Heavy Brick Workouts

*Last but not least, 10% of Endurance Strong's net profits goes to charity, so Thank You for your support! For more information about the creator of this training plan please visit EnduranceStrong.com
