The Trisutto maintenance program is a balanced training plan designed to maintain triathlon fitness during the off season. This 12-15 hour per week plan is of 2 weeks duration and designed to be continually repeated throughout the off season (ie: upon completion of Day 14, recommence the plan at Day 1).
 
There are 1-2 workouts scheduled per day.
 
The plan is appropriate for the off season but can also be incorporated during the mid-season in the longer time periods between races.
 
An example of how it is used during the race season, is that we finish a big race, recover and then commence the maintenance program, before moving back into our normal triathlon program.
 
We use the principles of reverse periodisation with short workouts maintaining speed, strength and power during this time.
 
This program is suitable for age group triathletes who train for olympic distance, half iron distance or longer races, and/or have approximately 12-15 hours per week available for training. It can be started on any day of the week however it is designed with the longest workout day as Day 6 (which corresponds to a Saturday should the program be started on a Monday). For age groupers who work a typical Mon-Fri work week, we would recommend starting the program on a Monday.
