Your First Triathlon

Everything you need to get to the start line — and across the finish.

Most people spend their first couple of seasons figuring this sport out by accident — buying the wrong gear, training at the wrong intensities, guessing at nutrition, and wasting a lot of time and money doing it. This guide is the shortcut past all of that. It is the guidance I wish I’d had when I started.

By the end of it, you’ll be able to:

Know exactly what gear you need for swim, bike and run — and what you can safely hold off on buying.

Recognise the signals your body sends before an injury becomes a real problem.

Set up TrainingPeaks, a power meter or smart trainer, and Zwift properly, without guessing.

Know what to eat and drink before, during and after training — backed by real research, not gym folklore.

Walk into race morning already knowing what to expect, minute by minute.

Talk about this sport with real confidence, whether that means hiring a coach or joining a club.

START HERE · COSTS NOTHING

Your first block is the Orientation block.

Twenty-eight days on your TrainingPeaks calendar — every session built the way I would build one for a private client, with a short lesson attached explaining exactly what it is for and how to execute it. No card taken, no billing details, and nothing to cancel when it ends. Pick the volume that matches your week.

LOW VOLUME

Fitting training around a full life

You are new to structured training, or your week genuinely has very little slack in it. The smallest dose that still builds something real.

MODERATE VOLUME

You already have a training habit

You are already swimming, riding or running most weeks and have some hours to give it. This is the right choice for most people.

HIGH VOLUME

Coming in with an aerobic base

Transferring in from running, cycling or swimming with real training history behind you. More frequency, same controlled intensity.

[PLACEHOLDER] — each button needs its own TrainingPeaks plan URL for that volume.

What you will need before day one

Pool access and an indoor trainer to start. A power meter or smart trainer by week three or four — your first FTP test is deliberately pushed back so you have time to buy one and set it up properly. Orientation is pool-swim only; open water comes in later blocks.

After the free month: Training Blocks opens the whole catalogue — $10 a month or $100 a year, or $25 a month / $250 a year with TrainingPeaks Premium bundled in. You decide then, having done the work, rather than now, having read about it.

Train Smarter. Adapt Faster. Race Better.

Your season doesn’t follow a straight line — so why should your training plan?
Training Blocks gives triathletes a new way to train: fully customizable, endlessly adaptable, and built around you.

Stop starting over every time life gets in the way. Build your season, your way.

No Risk. Get your first block free.

The Problem with Traditional Training Plans

Most plans are designed for the ideal athlete with a perfect schedule.

But you’re not training in a bubble — you’re managing work, family, travel, and a race calendar that rarely goes as planned.

The Typical Plan Fails When:

It’s One-Size-Fits-All.
Built around event distance and prep time — not your fitness, training history, or personal schedule.

You Miss a Week (or Two).
Suddenly you’re off track, forced to restart or buy a new plan just to stay on target.

You’re Racing Multiple Events.
Your race season is complex — but your plan can’t keep up.

You end up frustrated, inconsistent, and constantly adjusting your life around your training — instead of the other way around.

Introducing Training Blocks

A Training Plan That Adapts to You — Not the Other Way Around

Training Blocks was built by experienced triathlon coaches who understand that real athletes need real flexibility.

Every plan starts with your current ability, past training, sport background, injury or health history, and personal schedule — so the structure fits you, not a generic template.

You get a modular system of expertly designed training “blocks” — each focused on a specific purpose — that you can mix, match, and repeat to build your perfect season.

No more rigid timelines. No more wasted plans. Just consistent progress.

Why It Works for Triathletes

Triathlon training is complex — swim technique, bike power, run efficiency, recovery, strength, and everything in between.

Training Blocks gives you the tools and flexibility to manage all three disciplines without losing structure.

Choose a Pre-Built Block or add your own swim, bike, run & strength blocks to build a completely customized training plan.

Each Pre-Built block includes:

Structured Swim, Bike, Run & Strength Workouts
Stability, Mobility, Flexibility, Plyometric Sessions
Functional Testing — set accurate training zones for smarter sessions
Tapering & Race Prep Guidance — rest properly and execute!
Recovery — because adaptation happens when you rest

Unlimited Flexibility. Unlimited Possibilities.

With Training Blocks, you have:

Unlimited access to all current and future training blocks
Unlimited customization — apply, adjust, and reuse as often as you like
Unlimited combinations — for base, build, race, recovery, or multi-goal seasons

And because your access never expires, you can come back any time, adjust your plan, and keep building toward your goals — no repurchases, no restarts.

“It was so easy to follow the plan and learn as I trained. It was more of a training program than a simple training plan. I now have the confidence to continue my structured training.”
