How to Build a Balanced Triathlon Week

Training for a triathlon can feel overwhelming—three sports, limited time, and countless variables. The key? Balance and structure. Here’s how to create a week that supports performance and recovery.

???? The 3 Key Components of a Balanced Week:

  1. Frequency
    Aim for 2–3 sessions each for swim, bike, and run per week, adjusting based on your strengths and weaknesses.
  2. Intensity Mix
    • One high-intensity workout per sport
    • One endurance-focused session
    • One technique/recovery or brick session
  3. Recovery Time
    Schedule at least 1 full rest day or active recovery day. Your body improves during rest—not just work.
