This training plan is written to prepare you for your first Long distance triathlon. While just a beginner’s plan, the hours per week start at a significant 8 hours.

2.4mile Swim | 112mile Bike | 26.2mile Run

This training plan is written to prepare you to finish your first Long distance triathlon with annual volume at 600 hours. While it is just a beginner’s plan, the hours per week start at a significant 8 hours and gradually move you up to being able to train for 15-16 hours per week. You should already be consistently training 8-10 hours per week before beginning and ideally you should have completed some Olympic distance races in the past season and a middle distance triathlon race would be even better.

This plan is based on an annual volume of 600 hours per year, which won't necessarily mean an average of 10 hours per week. It will build to 16+ with recovery weeks at around 8 hours per week.

While it’s definitely possible to finish a long distance triathlon with fewer hours per week or fewer days per week than what you see here, I wanted to present a plan which emphasizes consistent buildup of hours to make your race day more enjoyable and less of a day of Swim-Bike-Walk.
