6 Simple Steps to Choosing Your Plan
A-Races are your most important events and the focus of your training. Aim to peak for these races and include a few practice events or simulations to prepare.
2. What Length of Plan?
Count the weeks until your "A" race and choose a training plan that will prepare you for race day.
Phil's plans are designed to gradually build endurance, fitness, speed, and skills, with a taper before the race.
Longer plans start easier and progress more gradually. Shorter plans begin at a higher difficulty, so choose carefully to match your fitness level.
3. Standard or Masters (40+)?
To reach your best, train in a way that suits you and avoid interruptions from injury, fatigue, or time constraints.
Phil's Masters' plans include more recovery time, helping you train consistently and perform your best on race day.

4. Which Level?
Beginner
If you're training for your first event, returning after a break, or working with limited time, we're here to guide you.
Structured, entry-level training is key to your success, with the primary goal of finishing comfortably.
Intermediate
With 1–3 years of consistent training, you're looking to reach your full potential while balancing training with daily life.
You aim to perform well, with expectations of finishing mid-pack or higher, depending on your age group and competition.
Advanced
With over three years of racing experience, you're focused on maximizing performance.
You may be aiming to qualify for championships or achieve top rankings, often competing at a high level within your age group.
Should I Choose a Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced Plan?
5. Preview your Plan
When choosing your training plan, review the description carefully. Look at the screenshots of an early week and a later, more challenging week. Consider the following questions:
- Do you have the starting fitness required?
- Can you fit the training into your schedule?
You’ll see the fastest progress with a training plan tailored to your fitness level and schedule.
