Plan Description

This 16-week half course training plan is designed for the triathlete with several season's worth of experience at this distance. This plan assumes an athlete has completed several half distance races previously. This plan is designed for the athlete ready to progress to an advanced level training.

Before starting this plan, athletes should be able to swim 2000 yards (continuously or as masters' style sets), bike 90 minutes continuously, and run 60 minutes continuously. Weekly volume prior to starting this plan should be at least 6-7 hours of swim, bike and run.

The plan includes benchmark testing to calculate power, HR and pace zones.

This plan includes a one-time email consult. I recommend reviewing the plan *first* and asking all of your questions in one email. Email is: maria@nolimitsendurance.com.

If you would like additional one-to-one assistance or coach-guidance, 30-60 minute consults are available for 20% off the current rate. Consultations can be done via phone, Zoom, or similar service for advice about pacing, nutrition, questions about zones, and the like. Athletes local to Arvada, CO or Conifer, CO can arrange for in-person consults as well. Note: these consultations are not included in the original purchase price of this plan. Email maria@nolimitsendurance.com to set this up.

This plan was created by a USA Triathlon Level 3 certified coach with 15 years of coaching experience, and an athletic history that includes 10x 140.6 finishes, including 4 finishes at IMLP, and finishing the World Championships in Kona. Coach Maria is also a double iron-distance champion, and accomplished ultrarunner. Maria has been named as the USA Triathlon Coach Education of the Year, and the Coach of the Year,from Outspoken Woman in Triathlon. You can read more about her here: https://www.nolimitsendurance.com/about-us/coach-maria-simone/

This plan does not come with regular coach correspondence or revisions. However, anyone who purchases the plan may have a one-time email consult - maria@nolimitsendurance.com. I recommend you take the time to review the entire plan and take note of any questions you have. Then, email them to maximize this correspondence. If you'd like a phone or video consult, you get 20% off the current rate. If you need revisions, they can be made for a fee (depending on the extent of the revisions needed.)

Athletes who purchase this plan receive a 10% discount to join our #NLECrew, the (mostly virtual) team for endurance athletes with no limits! We have two Tiers to choose from, both with access to a forum with the coaches, monthly team meetings, weekly newsletters with actionable training advice, and a community that can't be beat!
