Sprint Distance Plans
If you are looking for your first race, most will go for a sprint distance race to get a bit of experience before moving up a distance.
We have created a simple approach to our plans based on volume and experience; our beginner plans are low volume with small progressions and a focus on getting some consistency to training, getting you race ready with the least amount of time investment; our intermediate plans offer more volume and more advanced training principles to take your fitness to the next level.
Our advanced plans have the most volume and focus on intensity and duration to drive your fitness ready for your next personal best. Pick a plan that fits with your schedule, and get training now!
Beginners/Low Volume
This is the plan for you if you are looking at your first sprint or have limited time to train.
Intermediate/Medium Volume
If you want to improve your finish time or have more time available, this is the plan for you.
Advanced/High Volume
If you are looking to Smash your next race or have a large amount of time available, this is the plan for you.
Standard (Olympic) Distance Plans
Standing at 1500m swim, 40km cycle, and 10k run, this race distance is a great starting distance for those more confident athletes moving over to triathlon or for those looking to start moving up the distances to challenge their fitness further.

Why choose one of our training plans?
We focus on three key things.
We don't believe in shortcuts or gimmicks; we build our plans with tried and tested methods to get you to the start line in the best shape possible. Our focus is:
1. Building your endurance
2. Building your skills
3. Maximising your training time
How do we build your endurance?
Our plans include focused aerobic building sessions that push your fitness up over time to allow your body to adapt at a manageable rate.
Why do we build your skills?
You may have all the endurance in the world, but if you can't swim, bike or run efficiently, you will be wasting all of that hard-earned fitness.
How do we maximise your time?
By building our plans to include focused time-efficient sessions, we can help you gain your fitness in the smallest amount of time possible.
We aim to help you reach your goals by ensuring you are fit, healthy and ready to go come race day. That's why we offer a plan exchange; if you feel that you need to have more or less volume, you can always change to a different plan free of charge
