Subject: question re: custom training programs
I am deciding on whether to use the site for a 70.3 training program.

If I upgrade to the gold membership so that I have access to custom 70.3 programs, do the programs give specific workouts to use?

For example, will it say "swim 45 minutes" or will it provide a breakdown of drills to do for that particular day?

Any other comments on the custom training programs are much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, welcome to beginnertriathlete!

The custom plans don't detail individual workouts, although they are otherwise fully customizable. What I would do is create a custom plan for scheduling and volume/intensity purposes, then use the detailed individual workouts provided in the stock (paid) plans. Good luck!

I think they are the best value you'll find on the Internet. The range is extremely helpful and they're really easy to adapt to whatever my schedule/needs are. They are also solid preparation for any distance race.

Mike Ricci who wrote most of the plans was USA Triathlon's Coach of the Year in 2013. He's really good!

I'm doing the 22 week sprint tri program and the 2 mile bike ride it starts with is not very challenging. I see this as a opportunity to train the right way and challenge myself. Any ideas?
