I have created this 16 WEEK PREP and BASE PHASE training program to help you lay the foundation for your triathlon race season. I have designed a training program that I believe will help you achieve triathlon success. This program can be used by athletes of all abilities who compete in short or long distance triathlons.
Many triathletes work 40+ hours per week or take care of children at home...or do both! If you plan on doing triathlons this coming season, then you want to be as efficient as possible with your time and training. This Prep and Base Phase program does just that. By following this program, you will develop better form, technique and improved speed skills, preparing you for a more intense training program as you get closer to race day. Every workout has a purpose. I dislike the term “junk mileage” because I don’t believe junk mileage is accurate for any type of workout.
