    Your starting distance, how many weeks to give it, and what to do in the next two weeks. By email, in a few minutes.

  3. A race to aim at

    Beginner-friendly races near you, so the plan has a date on it.

    Triathlon know-how

    Do you know the basic rules?If not, good. You learn them as you go.

Answer honestly. It's only for you.

About 10 to 15 minutes. Your answers save on this device as you go, so you can stop and come back.

    A readiness check, not a medical exam.

    Your score and plan are general educational guidance, written partly with AI, and may contain mistakes. We are not doctors, physiotherapists, dietitians or certified triathlon coaches, and nothing here replaces medical or professional advice.

    • Before you start or change a training plan, check with your doctor, especially if you have a health condition or injury, or are new to endurance exercise.
    • Always share your plan with your coach so they can adapt it to you.
    • If you feel chest pain, dizziness, unusual shortness of breath or pain that gets worse, stop and seek medical care.

    We use your answers only to score them and write your plan. We never sell or share them.
