The Lifestyle Intermediate -16 -Week Sprint Triathlon Training plan is designed for the Intermediate triathlete who can handle a heavier training load and wants to race the Sprint distance to achieve a new personal record.

 

Training is based on heart rate % so a Garmin type of device is helpful. This is also a structured plan in that workouts can be auto-synced to your device.

 

During the beginning phases of training, you'll focus on strength training, and base endurance, with an in-depth focus on technique during the swim training segments with an introduction to V02 Interval Training.

 

During the latter phases, you'll focus less on strength and technique and more on endurance, V02 interval training, and adding anaerobic threshold training. The plan uses mini-periodization based on a 3/1 structured workout approach; (3 weeks load, with a 1-week active recovery).

 

You'll begin with 3.5hrs of training for your first week, with a max of just under 5hrs during the base/prep phase followed by a 4wk competitive build phase, with two intros to brick workouts and 1wk taper.
