Here is a 16 week beginner Olympic Triathlon training plan. This plan is for the beginner multisport athlete who is in good health and can handle a beginning volume of 4:00 per week.

Keep all workouts easy, conversation pace, as this is a beginner plan. When running hills, be light on your feet. Rolling hill courses are terrific for both the bike and the run.

Trismarter.com is excited to contribute the following training plan to trifuel.com readership. This training plan should serve as a rough guide for overall program structure and should not be considered as optimal for every individual. Subsequent newsletters will contain important articles relevant to key features of training for a sprint triathlon and should serve to complement the information in the training plan.
