There are two plans available for you whether you’re a beginner or an intermediate triathlete. The plans are developed by Head Coach Marc Becker, Olympic Distance Personal Best: 1:49:50 (non-drafting).

"The 12 week plan is fantastic. I have made breakthroughs in all three disciplines, especially the swim -- and I am not a beginner in the sport! ...for so many seasons I was sucked into the Zone-based myth and was always overtrained when i hit the 'Build' phases. Now, even though the program is demanding I always feel rested. I have not had an injury nor felt weak or sick. My times are always improving and there are actually LESS rest days than the Zone based training program. It's amazing really!" - thyrio, ironguides Forum [more]
