Trainingplan - too many hours

Hey all

I’ve started a half triatlon training plan, indicated I want intermediate time availability (6 hours).

My first week is 8 hours 45 minutes, my second week 8 hours 58 minutes, etc… There are 26 weeks in the training plan, 15 are over 10 hours, 1 is under 8 hours.

What am I missing here?

Hey there and welcome to the TR community!

Our triathlon plans are still undergoing some changes with the recent updates to Plan Builder. The Low/Mid/High Volume descriptors are currently only reflective of our cycling plans, so they don’t match up well with our triathlon plans right now. Sorry for the confusion on this – we are working on getting that changed!

In the meantime, it may be better to switch to a Low Volume plan instead. The Low Volume triathlon plans will get you closer to that 6 hour per week goal you’re looking to hit. It will be about 3-4 hours of cycling with the rest of your workouts dedicated to your swim and run workouts.

Here are the instructions on how to switch your plan:

Hope that helps you out – feel free to let me know if you need a hand with anything else or if you have any other questions!
