Olympic Triathlon Training Plan

The standard distance — where multi-sport gets serious.

What it takes

The Olympic distance (1.5K swim, 40K bike, 10K run) demands real fitness across all three sports. You cannot fake your way through a 10K off the bike. Plans need to build sport-specific endurance, layer in race-pace intensity, and schedule brick workouts that simulate the demands of transition.

Key workouts

  • Swim threshold sets: 5 × 200m at race pace with 20s rest
  • Bike intervals: 3 × 10 minutes at race power/effort
  • Run off the bike: 20–30 minutes at 10K effort immediately after cycling
  • Long brick: 60-min bike + 30-min run at aerobic pace

How it works

1

Tell the coach your race

Share your specific event, date, weekly hours, and constraints. The coach can search the web for course details, elevation profiles, and conditions for your exact race.

2

Get a periodized plan

A 12–16 weeks plan structured by training phase — base, build, peak, and taper — with sessions tailored to olympic triathlon demands.

3

Train and adapt

Sync Strava or import Garmin files. Sessions auto-match. Sync to Google Tasks. Adjust through conversation when life gets in the way.

Why AI coaching

  • Manages weekly volume across three sports without overreaching
  • Brick frequency and intensity progress with your fitness
  • Handles the complexity of tapering three sports simultaneously
  • Searches the web for your specific race — course details, elevation, and conditions inform the plan
