Designed for the FITNESS to COMPETITIVE athlete, this is a 10-week program by Dave Scott - 6x Ironman World Champion and National Triathlon Coach for Team in Training - for athletes with a previous Olympic (International) distance triathlon race time of 3 to 5 hours.

Dave has designed this program starting with moderate aerobic workouts, progressing into race-simulated sets. The 3 weekly workouts per discipline build from 7 hours up to 10 hours prior to tapering so that your confidence and ability will peak at your event. Monitoring your brick workouts that have been inserted into the program will provide another platform to truly evaluate your race day potential. Friday is the designated day off.

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

This program can be adjusted to fit your shortened training schedule if you miss the first few weeks. If you can complete 70%+ of the workouts, you will see results through race-simulated sets and bricks that replicate the physical and psychological tests of your race.

Dave has made this a fun, challenging and confidence-building program for your Olympic distance race.

Included: This plan comes with Dave’s comprehensive Triathlon Training Plan Guide explaining Dave’s training methodology and all the workout terminology plus video training tips by Dave covering optimal fueling, proper pacing, mental training tactics, race day strategy and more!
