Couch to sprint triathlon

The couch to sprint triathlon plan that starts where you actually are

A sprint triathlon is a 750 meter swim, a 20 kilometer bike, and a 5 kilometer run. From the couch it sounds like a lot. It is not, when the plan is built right and you take it one day at a time. Here is the plan that gets you there, safely.

Built around your real starting point

Most plans assume you can already swim and run. This one does not. You tell Finn where you really are, whether you can swim a length, how active you have been, the days you can train. The plan starts there and only there, then grows by small, safe steps.

About twelve weeks, give or take your life

From a standing start, a sprint is roughly a twelve week build. But the plan bends to your real calendar and your real race date, not a textbook. Miss a week, travel, get sick? Finn re plans without guilt, because the finish line does not move just because Monday did.

Swim, bike, and run, in the right order

Running builds first because it is the simplest. The bike does the gentle endurance work. The swim starts on dry land with breathing and calm, because the water is the part that scares most beginners, and the part we are best at teaching from zero.
