Methodology

Periodization

Base, Build, Peak, Taper. Systematic volume and intensity progression toward race day.

80/20 intensity

Hard sessions capped at 25%. Same distribution used by elite endurance coaches.

Safe progression

2-4% weekly volume ramp. Running capped at 6%. Recovery weeks at 70% every 4th week.

Guardrails

No hard run after long run or hard bike. Taper managed. The engine enforces what coaches enforce.

Frequently asked questions

Is Build2Race really free?

Yes, 100% free. No sign-up, no paywall, no credit card. Generate and export your plan instantly.

What distances does Build2Race support?

Build2Race generates training plans for Ironman (140.6) and 70.3 / Half Ironman distances.

How does the periodization work?

Plans follow a Base → Build → Peak → Taper structure with progressive volume, recovery weeks every 4th week, and 80/20 intensity distribution — the same approach used by professional triathlon coaches.

Can I export the plan?

Yes. Every plan can be exported as a branded PDF or an editable Excel spreadsheet, both generated in your browser.

Do you store my data?

No. Everything runs in your browser. Your plan is saved in localStorage on your device. Nothing is sent to a server.

Not a coach

We're not replacing your coach. A real coach adjusts week to week and knows when to push or pull back. What we offer is a structured starting point, built on the same periodization and intensity principles coaches use. Export it, make it yours, adjust as you go.
