Each plan is designed for specific goals, experience levels, and time commitments. Review the plan descriptions to check for:

• Experience Level: Beginner, intermediate, or advanced.

• Weekly Training Hours: Match the time you can realistically dedicate.

• Event-Specific Focus: Ensure the plan aligns with your target event (e.g., marathon, triathlon).
  If you’re unsure, contact us here, and we’ll be happy to help.

Yes, we offer beginner-friendly plans that include clear guidance and manageable training volumes. Check the “Experience Level” section in the plan description to ensure it’s right for you.

Yes! TrainingPeaks allows you to adjust workouts by dragging and dropping them to different days. If you need help tailoring the plan further, we offer an optional consultation service.

Training plans are pre-designed frameworks for specific goals. One-to-one coaching includes personalised training, regular communication, and adjustments based on your progress. If you want hands-on support, explore my coaching services here.

At minimum, you’ll need:

• A watch or device for tracking time, distance, and pace (e.g., Garmin, Polar).

• Access to TrainingPeaks (free or premium).
  Optional but recommended: A heart rate monitor, power meter (for cycling), or indoor training equipment.

1. Log in to TrainingPeaks.

2. Go to your calendar, click “Training Plan Library,” and select your purchased plan.

3. Choose a start or end date based on your target event. The workouts will automatically populate your calendar.

Yes, you can reapply the plan with new dates. Go to your TrainingPeaks library, select the plan, and choose a new start or end date.

Life gets in the way sometimes, it’s OK.

If you miss one session in the day, don’t worry.

If you miss a full day of training, don’t worry, just move on.

If you miss a few days, then return at around 60% for that first session back, then resume normal training the day after.

If you miss a full week, then ease back in gradually with 3 half volume days, 2 days at 60-70%, then a day at 75% volume, before returning to full training volume/intensity.

Never try and make up for a missed session by adding it in later in the week on top of the original planned sessions, over the course of a season you’ll be doing more than enough that will make up for that missed one or two. Don’t fear the red box

TrainingPeaks makes it easy to adjust:

• Drag and drop workouts to different days.

• Shorten sessions if needed (e.g., reduce a 90-minute run to 60 minutes).
  If you’re unsure how to adjust, contact us for guidance.

Listen to your body:

• Replace hard workouts with easy sessions or rest days.

• Take additional recovery time if needed.
  If fatigue persists, contact us to discuss adjustments to your plan.

Yes, you can reuse the plan as often as you’d like. However, your needs may change after completing the plan, so feel free to contact us for advice on progression or moving to a more advanced plan.

We strive to create effective, flexible plans, but if you encounter challenges, we are here to help. You can reach out for guidance or upgrade to a consultation or coaching package to personalise the experience.

Yes, but it’s essential to manage your overall training load. Consider substituting similar workouts from your plan with those from another sport (e.g., replacing a bike session with a swim). If you’re unsure, we are happy to help you adapt your plan for multisport training.

• Manual Logging: Click on the workout in your calendar, input details (e.g., duration, distance, perceived effort), and save.

• Device Sync: Ensure your device is connected to TrainingPeaks through the "Apps & Devices" section. Most devices like Garmin sync automatically after your workout.

• Green: Workout completed as planned.

• Yellow: Workout completed with minor variations.

• Red: Workout not completed or logged.
  Don’t worry about occasional red days—focus on long-term consistency.

• TSS (Training Stress Score): Measures the effort of your workout. Higher TSS = harder workout.

• IF (Intensity Factor): Reflects how hard a workout is compared to your threshold (e.g., FTP).

• CTL (Chronic Training Load): Tracks your long-term fitness trend based on TSS over time.
  These metrics help you monitor your training load and progress.

• Check that your device is connected via the “Apps & Devices” section.

• Sync manually through the device’s app (e.g., Garmin Connect, Wahoo Elemnt).

• Restart your device or app to refresh the connection.

Yes, you can:

1. Click on the day in your calendar.

Yes, all event-specific plans include a taper phase to ensure you peak for race day. Follow the workouts as prescribed and focus on rest, nutrition, and mental preparation during this time.

Use your long training sessions to test different fuelling strategies (e.g., gels, drinks). The plan includes guidance on practising nutrition well before race day.

You can reuse the plan for future events or contact us for guidance on what to do next. We also offer personalised coaching to help you build on your progress.
