[TBD: the plan details below are for 2026. Confirm the 2027 plans with the race director.]

DLT has an official Training Plan Partner, Patty Pittman with F2ECoaching.com. 2026 DLT Triathlon Plans are a 10-week program: https://www.trainingpeaks.com/my-training-plans/DegrayLakeTriathlon

These plans build fitness progressively. Beginner athletes should aim for at least 4 workouts per week plus 1-2 strength sessions. Intermediate athletes should plan for a minimum of 5 workouts per week plus 1-2 strength sessions. Both plans are tailored for sprint-distance races but include instructions to scale up to Olympic distance. Key notes: use the RPE chart to hit the right intensities; workouts auto-sync with Garmin, Coros and other devices via TrainingPeaks; mobility sessions with follow-along videos 2x a week.

Coach Patty Pittman holds a USAT Level 2 certification, the only coach in Arkansas to hold this credential, alongside UESCA and NASM certifications and a BS in Kinesiology. A 3x Ironman finisher with 20+ years of coaching experience. www.f2ecoaching.com | Instagram @pittmanfit
