Sprint Triathlon Training Plans for Beginners
A sprint triathlon — 750m swim, 20km bike, 5km run — is the perfect first race. These plans take you from where you are now to the finish line with a simple week-by-week schedule that fits around work and family.
Which sprint plan length should I choose?
Count the weeks until your race. If you have around 12 weeks, the 12-week plan is the most popular choice. Pick the 16-week plan if you're starting from scratch or want more time, and the 8-week plan if you already do some swimming, cycling or running.
Do I need any experience?
No. The plans are written for complete beginners in plain language, with rest days built in.
Can I try a plan before buying?
Yes — our free 12-week sprint plan is available without signing up, so you can see the style of training first.
