This plan will help intermediate triathletes prepare to race their fastest full-distance triathlon ever in 20 weeks. The structured and specific progression of the workouts in the plan will see to that.

If you typically finish between the top-20% and top-75% of your age-group this plan will suit you well, even if you haven't done a full distance race previously (it is recommended that you have completed at least a half distance race, though).

The plan is simple and easy-to-follow. You don't need any prior knowledge about structured training endurance sports to be able to follow it. Everything is clearly explained in the plan.

There is on average 11 hours of training per week, over 7-10 workouts. The lightest week is 6 hours, and the hardest has 16 hours of training.

There are 21 videos included in the plan, one for each week plus one big-picture overview. This will help you understand the purpose of the plan as a whole and each week within it, its different phases, and importantly, how to execute it correctly.

Workouts that should not be missed are clearly marked as KEY WORKOUTS, so you can optimise your scheduling, and rearrange the plan cleverly if life gets in the way.

This plan is based on power for cycling and pace for running.

It is also available as versions based on bike heart rate (and RPE) instead of power and based on run power instead of pace to guide intensity. See https://www.trainingpeaks.com/coach/mikael-eriksson.

One of the best training plans I´ve ever purchased!

"
The progression of the plan was very good. I felt a lot stronger after the training and I also liked that the Training Peaks version of the plan has the Structured Workouts feature so they can be easily downloaded to Garmin devices.

I sincerely think that it has been one of the best training plans I´ve ever purchased. Worth every penny!

Kept me organised and focused!

"
Your plan kept me very organized and focused through the 12 weeks. It was a good fit for my level. Not too easy, with too short training distances like so many other training plans I looked at, but not so daunting as some of the 12-15 hrs/week plans.

I have another race coming up, so I plan to restart the plan next week to prep for it. I would highly recommend it!

Made my training much more efficient!

"
With this training plan, my training changed to be more systematic. Each session has a clear target for what you're trying to achieve - not just "going for a run".

I haven't previously trained using training zones, and this made the training much more efficient. I've improved my run pace nicely (and it was my strongest discipline before) and really improved my cycling.

Finally, having this plan makes it harder to skip workouts, so it helps you stay consistent. If you're considering purchasing it, just go for it! It helps immensely.
