17 Week Middle/Long Distance Triathlon Plan (Intermediate)
About this plan
The whole plan points at one thing: your middle/long-distance triathlon. Across 17 weeks and roughly 11 hours a week, it builds you toward middle-distance triathlon with nothing in there that does not earn its place.
Every target is set as a percentage of your own FTP and threshold pace, so it fits you and not some average athlete. The weeks climb and then ease in three-week blocks, and across them the swim, the bike, the run and the transitions that join them are trained in balance.
Held to from the first week, it will have you ready for your middle/long-distance triathlon on the day it counts.
