Olympic Triathlon Training Plans for Beginners
An Olympic-distance triathlon — 1.5km swim, 40km bike, 10km run — is a proper challenge that still fits into a normal week. These plans build you up step by step, with pacing guidance so you know how hard to go.
Can I do an Olympic triathlon as my first race?
Yes, if you give yourself enough time. The 20-week plan suits beginners starting from a lower base; the 12-week plan suits people who already train a little.
Which Olympic plan is most popular?
The 16-week plan — it gives enough time to build up without the race feeling far away.
How are the plans delivered?
Through TrainingPeaks. Sessions appear on your TrainingPeaks calendar and you can move them around to fit your week.
