Free Training Plans for First-Time Endurance Athletes

Designed for athletes preparing for their first half marathon or their first season of sprint triathlon. These complimentary plans provide structured guidance, realistic progression, and a clear starting point so you can train with confidence.

What These Free Training Plans Include

Each plan is designed to give you clear structure without overwhelming complexity. You’ll receive a week-by-week schedule that balances training stress, recovery, and progression so you can build fitness safely and consistently.

Plans are delivered through TrainingPeaks and include prescribed workouts, basic intensity guidance, and enough structure to keep you on track without requiring advanced tools or prior coaching experience.

They’re a good fit if you’re stepping up to your first half marathon or entering your first year of sprint triathlon and already have a basic fitness foundation. You don’t need to be elite, but you do need to be willing to follow a plan and train regularly.
