The ELITE AMATEUR -16 -Week Sprint Triathlon Training plan is designed for the "ELITE AMATEUR " Athlete who is a short course specialist, can handle a heavier training load, and wants to race the Sprint distance both within the draft and non-draft regulated racing guidelines, can seek an overall win or finish within 8% of the overall winning time. 

​

A four to six-week base endurance training is required as you will have a V02 interval training session in week one. 

​

Training is based on heart rate %/power/and pacing so a Garmin type of device is required. You also have the option to incorporate power in both the bike and run. This is a structured plan where workouts can be auto-synced to your device. 

​

During the beginning phases of training, you'll focus on technique, and strength endurance during the swim training segments, continuing base endurance run segments with V02 Interval Training in week one. 

​

During the latter phases, you'll focus less on strength and technique and more on endurance, V02 interval training, adding anaerobic threshold training as well as power sprint intervals, and track workouts.

​

This plan uses a 3/1 structured workout approach; (3 weeks load with interval training sets, followed by 1-week active recovery) incorporating proper warm-up, recovery, and strength training throughout the Sprint Training plan. 

​

You'll begin with 8hrs of training for your first week, with a max of just over 11hrs during the base/prep phase followed by a 4wk competitive build phase, with brick workouts and a 2wk taper.
