Training Plan for an Olympic Distance Triathlon

Maybe you are planning to do an An Olympic Distance Triathlon, also known as Standard Distance Triathlon in the summer. It is a 1.5k swim, 40k bike and 10k run. Here is a 12 week plan to get you up to the required fitness for race day. Up until then, over the winter and spring, you need to build up your endurance and aerobic fitness by training at steady pace and gradually increasing distances. Also time spent perfecting your swim technique and doing some strength and conditioning work will both pay off later. For other race distances just scale training distances up or down.
Good Luck
