Plan Description

This plan is designed for any triathlete who is at the beginning of their journey, who needs structure and/or prefers a low-volume training plan for the Olympic distance. Before you begin, you should be comfortably able to swim and run for 45 minutes, cycle for 60 minutes, and complete at least four - six hours of aerobic exercise over seven days. The weekly training volume starts at approximately 6 hours in Week 1 and peaks at approximately 11 hours in Week 11.


Lifetime Plan

All purchased Recovery Lab UK plans become a permanent part of your TrainingPeaks plan library. You can start, stop, and reuse the plan as often as you like, beginning or ending at any point in the plan.


Level Guarantee

Not sure which level is right for you? Each Recovery Lab UK plan comes with a Level Guarantee: If you discover that the level you have selected is too hard or too easy for you, simply contact us for a complimentary switch to a different level within the same distance.


100% Structured Workouts

This plan leverages the TrainingPeaks structured workout feature with power and pace based workouts. Each workout can be exported to a supported device, which will automatically guide you through the session with duration, lap, and intensity prompts. Workouts do not have to be exported to be performed effectively, as the detailed descriptions provide all the information you need to successfully complete the workout.
