Hi all! I am fairly new to TrainerRoad but I already like it a lot, especially after the new changes. I’ve added my A race to the new TR calendar, which is a half distance triathlon in August next year, and I realized that between now and then I could fit 4 training training blocks (currently one …

Two builds back to back could leave you very tired. My main event next year (12hr TT) is likely to be in August, so I’m going to do Traditional Base, Sweetspot Base, Sustained Power then the 40k TT but switch some workouts from the Full Triathlon plan to build longer duration power. I might look at…

I face exactly the same issue at the moment. Decided against build->build option as @Greased_Flea mentioned. I went now with Sweet Spot Base, supplementing with my own swim and run workouts based on my specific goals for the post-season. With a few weeks travel this takes me to the next year. In Ja…

I’m in the same boat as @octopusx although my A race is a 70.3 in late July. So here’s a summary of what the official TR account posted the reddit thread that @schmidt linked: if you have a time frame that exceeds the 24 weeks outlined in the Half Distance Plan, we recommend the following progres…

I’m in a similar situation and have an Ironman at the end of July. Training begins officially on Monday. I’m doing a high volume sweet spot base (12 weeks), then Ironman base (8 weeks), then build (8 weeks), then specialty (6 weeks) so similar to the reddit recommendation. I think it should work wel…

Thank you guys for all the comments, this is all very useful information! Thanks for the tip @Greased_Flea I definitely will stick to a base program first and not double up on build/specialty phase. @clay good spot on the comment from the TR reddit, this is definitely reassuring. And definitely ni…

just wanted to make everybody reading this far aware of a parallel thread which covers plans for the early base phase [image] Traditional Base vs Sweet Spot Base Training Shooting for a 70.3 A-race next July. Per a recent reddit thread that someone shared, the TR official…

I’ve got a similar Goal, a half distance tri on 7th July. with an Olympic distance about 3 weeks before. The plans which i have set out on the Calendar are. Sustained Power Build (to build up my FTP a bit), then go in to Sweet spot base. Then Half Distance Base, Build, Speciality. Which leads nicely…

Sounds like this group is on the same page. I’m in a similar situation and was going to run sweet spot base to build my base up and hopefully drop a few pounds before starting my half tri base. Happy Training All
