The NC❌ Intermediate 24-Week Triathlon Training Plan is a full six-month roadmap designed to take your speed, power, and efficiency to a new level. This is not about getting across the finish line. It is about giving yourself the runway to systematically crush your goals. Whether you are aiming for a podium in a Sprint, a personal best in an Olympic, or a well-paced high-performance race at a Half Ironman (70.3), this plan provides the structure.
With 24 weeks you have time to build a rock-solid, injury-resistant foundation before layering on the speed and threshold work that produces new PRs.
What you get in the plan
Day-by-day master calendar: a 168-day digital schedule that eliminates guesswork. Every phase, block, and recovery week is calculated for maximum adaptation.
Deep multi-phase progression: moves through a comprehensive Prep and Base block, into a heavy Capacity and Threshold phase, peaks with Race-Specific Volume, and rounds out with a sharp Performance Taper.
Targeted threshold and power focus: high-stimulus workouts using a precise 5-zone framework, engineered to raise your Functional Threshold Power (FTP) and push your running threshold pace.
Advanced swim and bike infrastructure: progressive, metrics-driven pacing sets and critical swim speed (CSS) drills designed to make you efficient, aggressive, and confident in any environment.
Race-simulated brick and transition mastery: a six-month progressive buildup of combined bike-to-run sessions that program your legs to transition effortlessly and lock into race pace from step one.
Who it is for
Serious age-groupers with a goal race and half a year to prepare. Athletes chasing a Kona or 70.3 Worlds slot. Anyone who has done the short blocks and knows their ceiling is limited by base rather than intensity.
Questions we get
Is this overkill for a Sprint? If your goal is finishing, yes. If your goal is a podium in your age group, no. Six months of structure is how people get fast at short course.
How does it handle life? The recovery weeks are built in, which is what makes a 24-week block survivable. Missing a session in a long plan costs almost nothing.
Should I get coaching instead? If you want the structure, this is it. If you want someone adjusting the structure to you in real time, look at NC❌ one-on-one coaching.
