Training for Sweden's big races

A plan for your race

Add the race with its name, date and distance. TriQuest builds the plan in phases up to the start, with lighter weeks at regular intervals and a taper, and places the sessions on the days and within the time you have. When your week changes, the sessions move with it.

Skiing

En svensk klassiker

En svensk klassiker (A Swedish Classic) is Vasaloppet, Vätternrundan, Vansbrosimningen and Lidingöloppet within twelve months. In TriQuest the klassiker becomes a season goal, Klassikerresan: the four races are added for you, each race gets its own plan with one sport alongside, and after each race you start the next block when you say yes. Read more about En Svensk Klassiker.

The coach before your race

  • Ask about today's session, the week or your form for your race. The coach sees your sessions, your load and the weather, proposes changes and you approve.
  • Build a fuelling plan for the race in race nutrition, and practise it on the long sessions.
  • It is training advice, not medical advice.

Common questions

Common questions about training for the races

Which races can I train for with TriQuest?

Triathlon from sprint to full distance, running from 5 km to the marathon or a distance of your own, bike and swim races in kilometres, and cross-country ski races. You add the race's name, date and distance, and the plan is built towards it.

Can TriQuest make a plan for En svensk klassiker?

Yes, one race at a time. Klassikerresan adds the klassiker's four races, and each race gets its own plan from the Plan Builder with one sport alongside. After each race you start the next block when you say yes.

Can I have both a ski race and a bike race in the same year?

Yes. Choose cross-country skiing together with cycling or running, and which sport matters most. The plan trains both, weighted towards the race you are aiming for.

Is TriQuest connected to the race organisers?

No. TriQuest is an independent training program and not tied to any of the races. You register with each race.

What does it cost?

During the beta everything is included at no cost.
