Length: 9 weeks
Weekly Duration (average): 8-9 hours, balanced across the sports
Ability level: advanced Intermediate to advanced competitive
This plan is ideal for the advanced athlete who seeks a preparation plan prior to starting a 16-20 week half distance triathlon plan. This plan assumes several years of experience, and athletes who are accustomed to training a minimum of 8-10 hours per week. This plan is an average of 8-9 hours per week, and serves as a transition from the post-season into the general preparation phase of your training.
Week 1 of the plan includes information about how to set your zones: 1) Heart rate for run; 2) Power for Bike, 3) Pace for swim and run.
In addition to the swim, bike and run sessions, this plan provides at-home based short strength sessions, that can be completed with bodyweight.
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.
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.)
