In order to make it easier it choose the correct training plan for you, we categorise along 3 variables:
We split our training plans based on training hours available to the athlete.
The categories are Novice, Intermediate and Advanced.
Novice – 4 to 8 hours of training per week
Intermediate – 9 to 13 hours of training per week
Advanced – 14 or more hours of training per week
The second variable is race distance:
Sprint Triathlon Distance – 750m swim, 20km cycle, 5km run
Olympic Distance Triathlon – Also known as 5150 or Standard Distance Triathlon is 1.5km consists of 1.5km swim, 40km cycle and 10km run.
Half Ironman Distance – 1.9km swim, 90km cycle and a 10km run.
Ironman Distance – 3.8km swim, 180km cycle and 42.2km run.
Swim training zones are expressed in send-off times or paces.
Cycling training zones are expressed in percentage of max heart rate (%MHR), percentage of threshold heart rate (%THR) and % of functional threshold power (%FTP).
Running training zones are expressed in percentage of max heart rate (%MHR), percentage of threshold heart rate (%THR) and percentage of threshold pace (%TPace).

While a training plan will increase your chances of success by 100%, no single training plan can prepare you for the rigours and nuances of every event.
Events differ in terms of distance, terrain and technicality. Some events are fast and flat, others are punctuated with short sharp hills, while others may traverse mountain passes.
Should you be serious about getting your best result at a specific event you should have a training program that prepares you specifically for its demands. This would have to be created specifically for you by one of our coaches.
Complete the questionnaire on our Event Specific program page generator and one of our coaches will contact you.
For athletes with long term goals. Work closely with one of our coaches developing the skills, fitness and tactics necessary to take you to the highest levels in your sport.
