Designed for the NOVICE athlete, this is a 10-week program by Dave Scott - 6x Ironman World Champion and National Triathlon Coach for Team in Training.

Dave designed this program for the beginner or developing athlete. No experience is necessary in any of the disciplines, just a willingness to allocate 3 to 7 hours per week of training.

Dave has also included different brick combinations that will reinforce your confidence as the weeks fly by.

This program may be set to start or end at any time for a goal race that takes place on a Sunday. If your race is on Saturday, please chose the Saturday version of Dave's plan.
