THE DETAILS BEHIND THE DISTANCE
Preparation is overrated! In this guide we'll teach you the essentials so you don't waste your time.

There’s not much to do here, but we’ll help you get comfortable before training begins. No fluff, just the things that matter.

There's way too much misinformation out there when it comes to recovery. We'll teach you only what really works and nothing else.

It's time to start. We've provided all the essentials you need. Now it's your turn to put in the work.
DREAM BIG. BLOCK YOUR CALENDAR.
The training plan gives each discipline its own week, followed by a week to recover before race day.
YOUR TRAINING TIMELINE
This is the training schedule, not the race order. The guide starts with a week focused on running, then a week on cycling, then a week on swimming. After a recovery week comes race day, when the event follows the usual swim, bike, run order.
Start on your feet and get to know the run.
Get comfortable with your bike and the road ahead.
Finish the training sequence in the water.
Take a recovery week, then take on race day.
THE IDEA BEHIND THE GUIDE

Gear, nutrition, and recovery.
A plan to make your own.
THE THREE-WEEK GUIDE
A very big ambition. A remarkably small calendar. One digital guide, delivered by the Grown Strong team.
