Welcome to GGTC’s Long Distance Program (LDP)!

Perhaps you have been doing Sprint and Olympic distance triathlons and are looking to move up in distance. Maybe you excel at either swimming, cycling, or running and are looking for a program to refine the other disciplines. Led by coaches, Jaffa Prince and Tim Fleming, the Long Distance Program is designed to give you the skills and experience to successfully complete a 70.3.

This 10-week program will follow a structure of 3 group, coached workouts per week along with additional on-your-own workouts. This program is designed specifically to match your level of fitness and ability.

PROGRAM COMPONENTS:

• 3 coached group workouts / week (Wednesday evening track workouts and Saturday and Sunday morning workouts)
• Weekly training program delivered via TrainingPeaks
• Equipment overview, evaluation, and recommendations
• The opportunity to travel, train, and race with the team
• Clinics that cover topics associated with completing a 70.3 distance triathlon
• Course Preview
• Additional e-mail/Slack support to answer any questions

*ALCATRAZ EXTENSION

This year, we're offering an Alcatraz extension to the LDP program which will take you right up to race day. The program will be coached by JD (Coach of GGTC's Short Distance Program. Please note the change in coaches from Tim/Jaffa to JD) and will comprise three weeks of Training Peaks workouts, in-person coaching sessions on the weekends of May 17/18 and 24/25, a virtual course preview, and a great group of teammates to continue training with.
