Plan Description
Creator: Maria Simone, No Limits Endurance Coaching
Length: 9 weeks
Weekly Duration (average): 6-8 hours, balanced across the sports
Ability level: Intermediate
This plan supports the intermediate athlete who is seeking to build and develop base in preparation for a 16-20 week half distance triathlon training plan. This plan is meant to be completed BEFORE starting a half distance training plan.
Week 1 of the plan includes information about how to set your HR zones.
This plan assumes that you've been doing some training across swim, bike and run for about 5-6 hours per week.
In addition to the swim, bike and run sessions, this plan provides at-home based short strength sessions, that can be completed with bodyweight.
Coach Maria is a USA Triathlon Level 3, and USA Cycling Level 2 certified coach with over 15 years of coaching experience, and 10x 140.6 finishes, including the World Championships in Kona. Coach Maria is also a double iron-distance champion, and accomplished ultra runner. She was the 2022 USAT Coach Educator of the year, and the 2021 Outspoken Women in Triathlon Coach of the Year.
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.)
Athletes who purchase this plan receive a 10% discount to join our #NLECrew, the (mostly virtual) team for endurance athletes with no limits! We have two Tiers to choose from, both with access to a forum with the coaches, monthly team meetings, weekly newsletters with actionable training advice, and a community that can't be beat!
