NEW!!! 6-week Triathlon Maintenance Training Plan

To help you maintain your fitness during a time of postponed triathlon races, we have created a 6-week maintenance plan to keep you motivated, fit and strong throughout the spring season. Within this 6-week plan, you will receive a variety of structured bike and run workouts and brick (bike/run) sessions, as well as strength and plank sessions. All strength and plank sessions include a YouTube video link for you to follow along with Marni during the assigned strength/plank workout (videos were created during the Trimarni 10-day spring challenge).

Are you ready to try a triathlon?

For the past fourteen years, I’ve called myself a triathlete. Prior to embarking on this incredibly fun multisport lifestyle, I participated in running events. Before that phase, I dedicated over ten years of my life to competitive swimming. While  in college, I heard about a local triathlon event. I welcomed it as a challenging new training adventure and a way to meet other people. Here's a picture of me smiling my way through my first sprint distance triathlon. I had no idea what I was doing but I found a way to get to the finish line.  Triathlon has allowed me to travel to new places, develop long-lasting friendships and discover my unique talents and strengths. Triathlon also has a wonderful way of teaching you many valuable life lessons. Regardless of your background, triathlon is an everybody sport. Like myself, maybe you swam in college and miss the camaraderie of being part of a squad. Perhaps past running injuries have made you tri-curious. Or, m...
