Is This Plan For You? Olympic-distance racing at the sharp end is a VO₂max event. This plan trains it accordingly, and manages the recovery cost that comes with it.

• VO₂max Development: Structured short-interval work in all three disciplines, progressing in density rather than duration.
• Lactate Tolerance: Race-simulation sets that rehearse the specific discomfort of holding threshold off a hard swim start.
• Balanced Weekly Rhythm: A typical week includes 3–4 swims, 3–4 rides, 3–4 runs, and 2 strength sessions.
• Deliberate Recovery Architecture: Easy days are genuinely easy and are prescribed as such. The 2+1 block structure exists because this intensity cannot be sustained on a 3+1 cycle.

Smart Workouts That Sync Directly to Your Gear Powered by TrainingPeaks, every session features structured workouts built around precise target zones (Heart Rate, Power, or Pace).

• Automatic Device Sync: Workouts sync straight to your Garmin, Wahoo, Apple Watch, or Zwift.
• Real-Time Guidance: Press start on your watch or bike computer and let screen prompts guide your target intervals, rest periods, and warm-ups in real time.
• Zero Guesswork: Log on, view your targets for the day, sync, and execute.
