DUATHLON

Duathlon training plans, built for your goal

Duathlon's second run is where races are won or lost — legs that feel fine off the bike in training often fall apart under race adrenaline without specific brick work. SportBlox builds your duathlon training plan around your distance goal, schedule and race date, and works with your Strava data.

Personalisation

How SportBlox personalises it

Your goal & event date

Sessions build toward the specific goal and date you set, with a taper if you're racing or competing.

Your skill level

Volume and intensity scale to where you actually are, from Inexperienced to Professional.

Your stated weaknesses

Tell SportBlox about things like running off the bike (brick legs), transition speed, pacing the first run without blowing up the bike leg and the plan weights sessions toward fixing them.

Your schedule

The plan fits the days and time you say you have — not an idealised training week.

Works with Strava

Connect Strava and your logged sessions feed back into pacing and progression.

For coaches

Coaching a duathlon team?

SportBlox builds your team's training plan around the squad as a whole — its goals, weaknesses and upcoming events — and you review and refine every session before your athletes see it.

FAQ

Duathlon training plan FAQ

Does this work with Strava across both run and bike?

Yes — connect Strava and both disciplines feed back into pacing and progression.

How do I train two sports on limited hours?

Tell SportBlox exactly how many hours you have each week and it prioritises the sessions with the biggest impact rather than trying to fit in everything.

Is this suitable for a first sprint duathlon?

Yes, set your goal distance and skill level and the plan introduces brick sessions gradually.

Can it work around my existing run club or cycling group?

Yes, tell it your existing sessions and the plan builds the rest of your training around them.

Does it taper before race day?

Yes, add your race as an event and the final week reduces volume across both disciplines while keeping race-pace sharpness.
