Joe Beer's 12-month training plan

Whether you're aiming for sprint or Olympic distance, and whatever time of year it is, we can make you faster


Use these sprint/Olympic training plans from tri coach (and regular 220 contributor) Joe Beer to prepare you for the next year's racing…

So you’re new to multisport, have completed a couple of races or simply want to refresh your training programme?

Whatever camp you’re in, over the course of this series we’ll advance your triathlon performance to a level you never thought possible.

Below we feature three 12-week training plans and one eight-week block that’ll take you into the next race season.

A few pointers…

  • If you miss a session, don’t panic and try to cram in as much as possible
  • Instead, ensure that you replace missed sessions with ones that you’re weaker in
  • Also, note that swims exclude 400m warm-up and 200m cool-down.

Happy training!
