Semi-Custom Training Plans

Not ready for full custom coaching? Podium Training Systems provides semi-custom training plans to fit every race distance and ability - These are some of the best training plans available online.

What's a semi-custom training plan? We don't believe in providing static plans that simply tell you to go swim, bike, or run, without consideration of properly working the energy systems and your individual physiology. Our training plans take your current abilities into consideration through initial baseline testing across all disciplines. Output zones and training intervals are created based on heart rate for the run, pace for the swim, and power or heart rate on the bike. Your training is then specifically tailored to you. Regular re-testing ensures that all of your training is providing the best impact through the duration of your training.

To further set us apart from most of the static plans available online, we take it a step further. We include one on one consultations to ensure that any questions you might have regarding the structure, baseline testing, and training prescription are answered and you are fully ready to embark on your triathlon training journey. Once your training plan is purchased and loaded into Training Peaks, we’ll schedule your one hour individual consultation with Coach Dave and to ensure that your plan is exactly what you need. Any of the below plans can be augmented to fully fit your needs. Need something just a little different? Just ask.

Please note, with semi-custom training plans, here is no phone, email, or text communication after the initial one hour consult. Additional communications can be negotiated on a case by case basis.
