At TRIQ, we know that preparing for a successful triathlon season often involves more than just one race goal. That’s why we help you structure your season effectively, balancing multiple race priorities while keeping you on track to achieve your personal best. For comprehensive training planning you can chose from different triathlon race situations. There must be at least 1 triathlon race defined at all times to create a Training Plan!
For limited planning (see warning below)
Note: In the current implementation of Feb '25 we only provide full training plans for triathlon races. Single sport races can be planned and placed around triathlon races but we do not create full training plans for them. Single sport races are only aligned with triathlon plans and we check if the race dates are conflicting. If your last race of the season is a single sport race, then you will not see a full training plan between your last triathlon race and the single sport race
A, B, and C race priorities are used to categorize the importance of each race within a structured triathlon season, ensuring strategic planning, peak performance, and effective race execution.
A-Races (High Priority): A-races are the centrepiece of your season and receive full training focus. These races follow a comprehensive training plan, including all training phases: foundation, specific, taper, and post-race recovery (PRR). A-Races are triathlons only to ensure peak performance for triathlons.
B-Races (Medium Priority): B-Races, often referred to as ‘building races’ are secondary objectives designed to support and build toward your A-Race. These races include taper and recovery phases but maintain a training focus aligned with your primary goal - the A-Race (see illustration below). B-Races encompass triathlons (excluding full Ironman distances) or demanding single-sport events such as Marathons or Half-Marathons.
C-Races (Low Priority): C-Races are treated as part of your regular training load and are typically incorporated as intense workouts with just a 1 day of taper and recovery. These events often include shorter triathlons (like Olympic or Sprint distances) or single-sport events, excluding highly demanding races such as Marathons or Half-Marathons.
At TRIQ, our goal is to guide you toward effective training while helping you avoid common pitfalls like overtraining or injury. Instead of blocking your actions, we provide warning messages and visual indicators to highlight non-optimal scenarios, encouraging you to make adjustments for better outcomes. This guiding is including also single sport races.
Warnings are triggered in the following scenarios:
