You buy your desired plan directly from Trainingpeaks. You will also receive your invoice from there. Then you can download it directly to your Trainingpeaks account at your preferred start date with just one click and have it with you wherever you are via the app or web platform.

Yes, you can copy it and use it a second or third time.

If you are unsure, you should choose the easier plan. The plans will really challenge you and I have hardly ever heard of athletes feeling underchallenged.

You choose the day, it should just be a Monday.

On day 1 you will find a downloadable Athlete Guide which should answer all your questions. If you still have any questions, just drop me a line.

Yes, all cycling sessions with long steady GA1 sessions are created in Workout Builder and can easily be uploaded to Zwift or your cycling computer.

In all our plans we deliberately avoid creating built in running sessions. Why do we do this?

The experience of really hundreds of coaching sessions with athletes at almost all performance levels shows that a “pigeonhole thinking” develops. Almost no importance is attributed to body awareness and training sessions are

and training sessions are then simply reeled off in the built-up zones (which are also sometimes calculated down from dubious tests). This may even work for pure runners who go into training sessions fresh and into races fresh.

In triathlon, however, no one is fresh when they start running and then a pace adaptation is important, which has a lot to do with body feeling. In some cases it even went so far that athletes “took it easy” in training two days before the race in order to

to be able to “really complete their intervals in the zone on the clock” on Thursday. Since we have dispensed with the built mode, the athlete has to pay much more attention to himself and his feeling and sometimes, for example, a 6x1000m workout at 3:30 pace is at a felt subjective load of 90% and with corresponding pre-load, stress, lack of sleep, etc at 98%…. the training goal is met every time, only the general conditions are different. The built units/zones on the watch make it immensely more difficult in our experience.

Yes, every metre of every swim session is planned in great detail.

Yes, athletics and specific mobility sessions are included.

A training plan is the best way for an athlete to continuously improve and really reach their competitive goal. It takes an incredibly long time to write good training plans by hand. These may also cost a little. Of course, there are cheap plans created with AI, but at least currently they are still light years away from those of good coaches.

Yes, you can create a free basic account and work wonderfully with the purchased plan. If you want to make changes and adjustments to the plan yourself, I recommend the paid premium account of Trainingpeaks (approx. 10$ per month).
