Getting started
Getting started with training
You don't need to be fast or have a race to begin. TriQuest builds a plan that starts where you are today and grows at the pace your body can take, around the days and the time you have.
Start where you are
When you get started, you tell TriQuest which sports you want to train, how much you train today and which days suit you. If you are new or have trained unevenly, the plan starts with a few weeks that get your body used to regular training, before the sessions get longer or faster.
A goal, or none at all
- Choose a race, from 5K to the marathon, a triathlon or a race on the bike, on skis or in the water.
- Or choose a twelve-week development block without a race, to become a better runner, cyclist or swimmer.
- Not sure what time is realistic? The race time predictor and the pace calculator give an estimate.
Easy is right
- Most sessions are easy. That often feels too easy at first, and that is the point.
- Hard sessions get easier days in between, and lighter weeks come at regular intervals.
- Each workout explains what it is for and how it should feel.
Someone to ask
- The Coach answers your questions about the workouts, your week or your kit. It proposes changes, and you approve them.
- If something hurts, the plan trains around it, and the Coach follows it up until it is gone.
- It is training advice, not medical advice.
Common questions
Common questions when you get started
Do I need a watch?
No. You can follow the workouts in the app or on the web. If you have a Garmin or an Apple Watch, the workouts go there, and what you record comes back to the plan.
How much do I need to train?
You set how much time you have each day, and the plan stays within it.
What if I miss a session?
The plan adapts. You can move or shorten a session, and missed sessions are not made up at any cost.
What does it cost?
During the beta, everything is included at no cost.
