Is This Plan For You? Twenty-four weeks is a generous runway for this distance, which is the point: it allows the volume to rise slowly enough that your tendons and joints keep pace with your aerobic system.

• Technique Before Volume: The swim block front-loads drill work, because at this distance stroke efficiency saves more time than fitness does.
• Conservative Run Progression: Weekly run volume increases gradually with a walk-run option in the opening block for athletes coming from a low running base.
• Balanced Weekly Rhythm: A typical week includes 2 swims, 2 rides, 2 runs, and a mandatory day off.
• Six Full Months of Structure: Long enough to absorb an interrupted week without derailing the plan.
