6 Week Beginner Super Sprint Triathlon Plan

Apr 28, 2014 | Running | 10 comments

I’m actually really excited to properly start triathlon training- I am concentrating on swimming for my training, and completing some ‘brick’ workout sessions (combining two disciplines in one workout). I’ll roughly be following the below plan, however I’ll be incorporating weights and yoga/pilates classes in my plan too. You’ll notice I haven’t put in distances for the run and bike, as I am keeping those quite flexible and fun. This plan could also work for a Sprint triathlon by increasing the times and distances as appropriate.

    You’re putting me to shame! I’ve got my sprint in 2 weeks and I’ve had no structured plan – 5ish workouts a week, various disciplines. Hope it gets me round! I’m most scared of my bike on country roads…

      Hi Peter, I used this for a 400m swim, 15K bike and 3K run so it would translate very well for your distance!

    Hi There,
    This is fantastic and very helpful. I am looking at 2 dates for a tryatri: 4100m – 10km – 2.5km.
    Choices: Aug 22 or 29. These are the last for the year, PLease advise if there is sufficient time to train and any recommendations.

      Hi there, it would really depend on your level of fitness and experience with each discipline, but I’d give yourself the longest time you have available to prepare, so go for the second date! Good luck!
