What is it?
This service is a simple yet complete model with general-semi personalized training plans, multimedia content, online advice and social interaction through a private forum. This provides an effective alternative way to training with expert advice from E3 coaches for a lower cost.
We offer “Off-season” or race specific training plans for different distances (Olympic, 70.3 and Ironman), durations and 3 different levels based on your current fitness level, experience, needs and racing goals. The semi-personalized plans are complemented with “how to” guides, annual training plans, multi-media and other materials that cover most training needs for our athletes. In addition you can ask as many questions as you might have to our expert coaching group via a private online web forum (hosted at beginnertriathlete.com) or via our private Facebook Group and you’ll get response within the same day.
Unlike other online services, ours are delivered on three to five 4-week blocks; this allows us to make fitness progress assessments at the end of each block and recommend what 4-week block will suit the athlete’s needs best. All based on strengths, weaknesses, time constraints and adaptability. This flexibility maximize fitness gains.
In addition each programs is available for different levels (1 to 3) to match the athlete current fitness and each level can be available to address specific weaknesses (i.e. run focus or bike focus)

How Does It Work?
It is very simple:
- The athlete fills up a fitness assessment and submit to us, we analyze it and based on that info provided recommend what plan level will fit the athlete needs.
- We submit the first 4 week block plan, “how to” guides and schedule a startup conference call to discuss the details of the plan, terminology, goals, etc.
- The athlete gets access to the private forum where he/she will have access to different multi-media, have a personal thread to ask any questions and receive support from our coaches within 24hrs.
- During the last week of the 1st block, the athlete will complete the fitness assessment form with detailed feedback so we can recommend the next 4 week block that will fit his/her needs and goals. We do this at the end of every block.
