Your First Olympic Triathlon Training Plan

About this plan

Targeting your first Olympic-distance triathlon? This is the plan for it. 12 weeks, a solid 7 hours a week, every one of them built around Olympic-distance triathlon rather than adapted from a template.

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 first Olympic-distance triathlon on the day it counts.
