Example Output
12-Week Sprint Triathlon Plan
- **Mon:** Rest or 20-minute mobility
- **Tue:** Swim drills, 1,200m total
- **Wed:** Bike intervals, 45 minutes
- **Thu:** Easy run plus short strength session
- **Fri:** Swim endurance set
- **Sat:** Brick workout, 50-minute bike + 10-minute run
- **Sun:** Longer easy ride or run, alternating weeks
Transition Practice
Once per week, rehearse helmet, shoes, and mount line order so race morning feels boring in the best way.
Beginner Mistake
Do not turn every bike and run into a hard session. Consistency beats weekend superhero behavior.
Tips for Best Results
- 💡Share honest fitness in each discipline, many triathlon plans fail because one weak leg gets ignored.
- 💡Ask for brick progressions, that is where the race starts feeling real.
- 💡Mention equipment access because pool-only and open-water-prep plans should not look the same.
