Custom plan

Got a date and a life
that will not fit a template?

Build a plan from 6 to 26 weeks for any triathlon distance, anchored to your race day and shaped around the hours you actually have. Review your Protocol Score and wider recovery context before choosing how to approach each session.

Build around real life

Choose the problem your plan must survive

Distance is only one part of the decision. Start with the constraint that is most likely to break an ordinary week, then choose the plan you can repeat.

The difference

Every plan answers when, not just what

Any competent plan can tell you to do intervals on Tuesday. None of them know your Tuesday. They cannot see the night your child was ill, the week your job turned, or the HRV that fell off a shelf this morning. So the session lands regardless, and the athlete pays for it in month three.

Review the plan alongside your morning Protocol Score, sleep, HRV, recent load and how you feel. That context helps you decide whether to keep, reduce, move or replace a session; the score is decision support, not a command. This is the R.A.C.E. Framework applied one morning at a time. Athletes who want personal review can explore online triathlon coaching; athletes in London can enquire about the separate Unbroken Triathlon Club.

Questions

The plans, answered

How long are the plans?
Race plans run a live 12-week block anchored to your race date, with a rolling base rhythm before the window opens. Custom plans build from 6 to 26 weeks. The non-race plans (faster, longer, consistent) run in continuous 4-week waves: three weeks building, one week absorbing.
Do I need a race booked to start?
No. Half the catalogue exists precisely for athletes without a race date: build the engine, hold your base, come back from injury, or reset after a season. Set a race later and the plan re-anchors itself to it.
How many hours a week do the plans need?
From about three hours for a sprint or a maintenance block, up to ten to fourteen at the peak of an Ironman build. Every plan starts from the hours you actually have, not the hours a template assumes.
What makes these different from other training plans?
The app places your planned work beside recovery context. Review the Protocol Score, recent load and how you feel before deciding whether to keep or adjust a session. Personal coaching is a separate service for athletes who want a coach to review those decisions.
Is there a PDF I can download?
Plans are presented in the app rather than as a fixed PDF. Review your planned sessions alongside current recovery context and how you feel before deciding whether to adjust the day.
Is the plan free?
The tools around it are. The race-time predictor and every guide on this site are free and need no signup, and the app runs a free trial so you can see a full week of the system before paying. Coaching and the app subscription are paid, because a plan that adapts to you daily is not a static download.
How many weeks should a triathlon plan be?
Twelve weeks is the structured block for every distance we coach. Longer runways do not mean a longer block, they mean more base in front of it. Each race page on this site tells you how many weeks you have left and what still fits.
Do you have plans for beginners?
Yes, at every distance. The difference is the timeline rather than the sessions: a beginner gets more weeks of easy aerobic work before the structured block starts, so the hard weeks land on a body that can absorb them.
