Find the right plan ↓Clear structure.
No guesswork.
Every TCC plan is written by Coach Chris and built around sound endurance training principles. The workload develops progressively, recovery is planned and race-specific work arrives at the right time.
You will know what to do, how hard to work and why the session matters. Choose the plan that best matches your event, current experience and the time you can train consistently.
These are detailed, ready-made plans. They do not include ongoing coaching or weekly adjustments. If you need training built around your life, speak to us about a bespoke option.
Start with what
you can sustain.
Choose your event
Start with your race distance, then choose a plan length that fits the time available before race day.
Be honest about time
Use the hours you can train in a normal week. Consistent training will take you further than an ambitious plan you cannot sustain.
Match your experience
Beginner plans build consistency. Intermediate plans assume a reliable training base. Competitive plans include greater load and intensity.
Check the plan focus
Look for options that match your needs, including shorter weeks, bike or swim focus, heart-rate guidance and strength work.

control you need.
A free TrainingPeaks Basic account is enough to buy, apply and follow a TCC plan. TrainingPeaks Premium is optional and is most useful if you want to rearrange sessions or analyse your training in more detail.
Follow the plan
TrainingPeaks Basic gives you what you need to complete the plan as it is written.
- Buy and apply your TCC training plan
- See each scheduled session on your calendar
- Upload completed training from supported devices and apps
- View workout and fitness summaries
Adapt and analyse
TrainingPeaks Premium adds more calendar flexibility and deeper insight into your training.

- Track Fitness, Fatigue and Form in the Performance Management Chart
- Use advanced workout charts, Peak Performances and season planning tools
Follow each interval as you train.
Where appropriate, TCC plans include sessions created with the TrainingPeaks Structured Workout Builder. Warm-ups, intervals, recoveries and cool-downs are set out step by step, using duration or distance with targets based on power, heart rate, pace or perceived effort.
TrainingPeaks uses your current threshold and training zones to calculate the targets shown in each structured workout. When your settings change, the targets update with them. On compatible devices and platforms, the workout can guide you through each step while you train.
Platform features can change. Checked against TrainingPeaks documentation: Basic and Premium accounts, applying a plan, Structured Workout Builder and current athlete pricing.
Need a plan built
around your life?
A ready-made plan works well when your week is predictable and one of the options closely matches your event, experience and available training time.
If you work shifts, are returning from injury, have several target races or want regular feedback and adjustments, choose a bespoke plan instead.
Email TCC about a bespoke plan → info@tccendurance.comQuick answers.
Are these plans personalised?
No. These are detailed, ready-made plans written by Coach Chris. They do not include weekly adjustments or ongoing coaching. Contact TCC if you need a programme designed and managed around you.
Do I need TrainingPeaks Premium?
No. A free Basic athlete account is enough to buy, apply and follow a TCC plan. Premium is optional and adds calendar flexibility, planning tools and deeper analysis. The TrainingPeaks subscription and your TCC plan are purchased separately.
Is a Premium TCC plan the same as TrainingPeaks Premium?
No. Premium in the title of a TCC plan describes that training plan. TrainingPeaks Premium is a separate account subscription which unlocks additional planning and analysis features on the platform.
Can I move sessions?
TrainingPeaks states that only Premium athletes can move and rearrange individual workouts after a plan has been applied. If you do move sessions, keep the intended recovery between demanding workouts and avoid stacking several hard days together.
What if I am between two levels?
Choose the lower level unless your recent training consistently supports the higher weekly volume. A slightly easier plan completed well is usually the better choice.
What if I am returning from injury?
A ready-made plan cannot account for an individual injury. Get clearance from an appropriate clinician and contact TCC if you need training planned around your return.
