This sprint-distance plan was designed by Joe Friel using the principles from Your First Triathlon. Having this book handy will help with many of the workouts presented in the training plan.
Who is this plan for?
This 12-week, easy-to-follow plan is intended for an experienced cyclist who is training for his or her first sprint-distance triathlon and who has little or no background in swimming or running. The bike workouts are more advanced than in the plan for the beginner with no experience.
When should you start the plan?
This plan is best started 12 weeks prior to your race. You should be riding a bike regularly before starting.
What is the training like?
Training includes one daily workout with optional workouts you can also do if you have the time.
Do you need any devices or apps?
You do not need a power meter, heart rate monitor, or any devices to use this plan. (Note that this plan does not include expected workout TSS and does not use the “Workout Builder” format.)
After your event, please provide feedback on how this plan worked for you. Thanks again for your interest in my training plans, and I hope your training and racing go very well this season.
