5 km run, 20 km bike, 2.5 km run. A fast way into duathlon. Higher intensity share than the Olympic distance, yet still polarised 80/20 in the base. Brick logic from the very first day of your plan.
A high-intensity start. Pacing strategy for the sprint opening run.
Power-based threshold work. Sweet-spot pace dominates the short distance.
Maximum intensity on heavy legs. Heavy-legs sprinting, trained.
Brick workouts dominate the peak phase. Keeping bike and run close together is essential.
Over the sprint distance, your upper threshold is what counts. VO2max intervals in the peak weeks.
A short taper for the short distance. Volume down 50 %, sharpness up.
80% of your training in low zones (Z1/Z2), 20% in high zones (Z4/Z5+). The most effective approach to endurance performance — backed by Seiler (2010) and Stöggl & Sperlich (2014).
4-week blocks: Build → Build → Peak → Recovery. A systematic increase in load all the way to race day, through the Base, Build, Peak and Taper phases.
Training zones calculated with Coggan Classic (Z1–Z7) from your FTP, HRmax and threshold pace. No guesswork — precise targets for every session.
