HOW TO SWIM FASTER Seven essential tips on how to swim freestyle faster… The surest way to swim faster, especially for beginners, is
At the end of the duathlon season it’s important to take some downtime, for physical and mental recovery. Our off-season plans are designed to maintain your well-earned fitness whilst recovering from your season of racing and duathlon training. The aim is that you’ll be fit AND recovered when the time comes to start ramping up your training again.
We have off-season plans to cater for Sprint and Standard Duathletes as well as Long-Distance Duathletes
Choose from our 4, 8, or 12-week off-season plans at beginner, intermediate or advanced level.
The duration of your plan will depend on where you are in the year, and the dates of your target races. It will also depend on how you feel. If you tired from a long season, or particularly tough event then extend your off-season by choosing our 12-week plan.
The level you choose depends on your current fitness, aims, experience and time-availability. Click on the plans below to learn more about the starting requirements.
You can fit them all around a full-time job, especially if you have a little flexibility in your day-to-day timetable.
Providing you maintain your duathlon fitness in the off-season, we recommend you commence full duathlon training at around 20-24 weeks before your target events.

We have a huge range of plans that enables you to select one that best meets your goals, schedule and ability. If you’re not sure where to start, read on below for a quick overview.
What type?
Our Standard and Masters plans are designed to get you ready for your target event, while our Off-Season plans are designed to allow you to recover from a tough season whilst maintaining your well-earned fitness. Generally, Masters plans are designed for athletes over 40 years old, although plenty of younger athletes love them too. The workouts are just as tough as with our standard training plans, but with more scheduled recovery days. And more strength and conditioning work, so you stay strong and flexible. Some find it easy to carry on with a normal training load, while others need to change their approach to training.
What length?
For the best outcome, count back from your “A” target race date and simply choose a plan to fill that gap (you can still work in other, smaller races during your plan). Note that longer plans start easier and progress more gradually than shorter plans. The body responds best to constant, gradual progression with regular recovery periods, and that’s exactly what our plans are designed to give you!
What level?
Choosing the correct level will help you get the most out of your plan. Generally, if you’ve never done this event before or currently train up to a few times per week, you might consider a Beginner plan. Alternatively, if you’ve done this event many times before or currently train 5+ times a week, you might consider an Advanced plan.
But don’t worry too much – we also let you swap the level for free within 14 days of purchase, if you find it too easy/hard!
Visit the MyProCoach Help Center for further guidance and to contact our Certified coaching team.
Certainly! Our training plans allow you to easily swap a few days around each week to suit your availability. Or you can swap out a session, to attend a similar group workout instead. That’s fine. If you opt for Training Peaks Premium (from $9.92 per month) you can even drag & drop your workouts onto different days. We give a few recommendations on how to best do this in our help centre.
And you can also train for multiple events! Our training plans guide you up to your target “A” race, but it’s also good to include some “B or C” races along the way. Our help centre goes through the exact steps you should take to enable you to get full benefit, without detracting from your key focus.

I've now smashed my race season goals, already getting the Sub 5hr 70.3 and even got the percentage I needed to attempt qualification for the ITU European Championships. - I'm in top form and looking forward to my A race of IM Vichy later this year! less - 1 year ago

I've used a number of different plans over the years from training peaks and found yours to be the best I've seen. Simple to understand but comprehensive in execution. I appreciated the explanation and understanding provided as to the purpose of the workout and what we are trying to achieve. Web links also very helpful for the old amateur. I used your 6 week advance training plan between 70.3's and shaved 15 mins off the time despite the fact I wasted 10 days drinking beer all day on a tropical island in Indonesia! Will look into a longer plan for next year.
I would recommend you to anyone. less - 1 year ago

I have been on a training plan for the last year with exceptional results , I’m not new to the sport 16 years and now in the masters category.

Each one has been excellent in terms of the progressive plan itself but also in terms of the reading that comes with it. I have gradually improved technique and fitness for sure, but I have also learned a lot and that is an important part of the journey for me. Phil's plans have enough variety to be interesting and yet enough commonality for progressions to be seen and felt. In addition, Phil is open to the occasional bit of more personal communication which I have tried not to abuse, but whether on social media or email you get a real sense that Phil is in your corner. He has not simply written generic plans and sat back to count the cash - I get a strong sense that he cares for athletes following his plans and has a genuine desire to see them be successful - whatever that looks like to them. I have recommended Phil's plans to other triathletes who have all reported equally positive experiences. Phil is my first port of call for a plan and the person I would recommend first to others. No bigger compliment! less - 1 year ago

I enjoyed and benefited from how specific they are regarding zones and not just “5hours zone 2” as I’ve seen on other plans before. less - 1 year ago
