Training for an endurance event requires dedication and commitment. It’s understandable if you feel a bit overwhelmed with the amount of time, energy and focus that you think you will need to give to your training.

We are glad that you came to Trimarni for help. 

This 20-week Half Distance Training Plan allows for gradual fitness progression and development to help you prepare physically and mentally for your upcoming event. Our training plan takes into account the proper training stress that is needed to prepare for a long distance event - without increasing the risk for injury, burn out and sickness. As coaches who specialize in endurance triathlon coaching and long distance racing, we are confident that you will enjoy the detailed, periodized workouts in our training plans - which embody our coaching methodology so that you can train for athletic excellence while keeping your body in great health. 

We believe that training for a triathlon event should be fun and you should enjoy the journey to the start line but you should not feel like training is taking over your life. Our plans are designed so that you are challenged enough to experience fitness improvements but not to the point that you will be overtrained. No matter your current fitness level or time constraints, we have formatted every workout in a way that will help you develop the necessary skills and fitness to feel ready for your upcoming event.

This newly designed half plan carefully incorporates similiar Trimarni coaching workouts, periodization and structure that has helped our one-on-one athletes experience success in the past season.

What’s included in your Trimarni 20-week Half distance training plan?

• A 20-week periodized Half distance triathlon training plan delivered through Training Peaks.

• One week designed for an intentional overload of training (3-day Fri-Sun training camp) or for a tune-up race (sprint/Olympic distance) to test your fitness (week 16).

• You will receive a focus description for every workout and specific sets for every workout. We often provide options as to how to modify the workouts to meet your time constraints/fatigue level so that you can still progress with your fitness and feel prepared for race day.

• Educational videos are included as well as technique videos demonstrating swim/bike/run drills.

• Indoor trainer and outdoor riding options (all bike workouts can be done on the trainer and most feature a training file to upload to your preferred training app (ex. Zwift, FulGaz, Rouvy).

• Treadmill and outdoor running options.

• Brick workouts and two-a-day training sessions.

• Open water swim simulation in the pool (specific sets: sighting, take-out speed) and open water specific workouts.

• Descriptions to take away the guessing so you know what to expect for certain weeks throughout your plan and how to adjust for “life.”

• Testing (check points) to determine training zones (week 10).

• Specific mobility and strength workouts utilizing ECFIT On Demand. While you do not have to purchase a subscription to ECFIT, we have partnered with Erin Carson for you to receive a link to her On Demand strength plan that features over 50 different types of strength, mobility and foundation workouts to compliment your swimbikerun training. Erin works with many top professional triathletes like Mirinda Carfrae, Paula Findley, Justin Metzler and so many more. Her commitment to continuing education plus her proven track record of success with professional athletes has made her one of the most knowledgeable and accessible strength coaches in the world.

• Once you purchase the training plan, you will receive an email from us within 24 hours with instructions on how to access the link for your training plan (which can be uploaded to your personal Training Peaks account. You must have a Training Peaks account - which is free - to utilize our training plan) and Google Drive educational content link.

• In our training plan we have very few scheduled rest/recovery days. This is not because we don't believe in them. We understand that life often gives us "off" days when training can't happen - and we can’t predict when these days will happen. We have designed your training so that you can miss a workout/day of training and simply move on without feeling the need to make up a missed workout. However, you'll often see Bonus workouts. These are optional workouts that you can miss if you need to due to fatigue, to catch up on sleep/nutrition or to rejuvenate. We feel that you should be swimming at least three times per week so if you do miss a swim, we suggest to move that swim to another day if it works in your schedule.

  If you have any specific questions about our plans, don't hesitate to send us an email.

  We know that sometimes injuries, sickness and life-events happen. After purchasing your plan, there are no refunds if you are unable to utilize your training plan for your upcoming event. However, the plan is always available in your Training Peaks library and can be used/reused again in the future. When you purchase a Trimarni training plan, you accept that you are in good health to train and Trimarni can not be liable for any injuries/death when utilizing our training plan.
