Yes, see the above answer. A new triathlete is in an incredibly exciting place when on a custom training plan. You learn the right way from the beginning. We regularly see new triathletes progress VERY rapidly in the first 2 or 3 seasons. This is simply due to the powerful magnifying effect of reinforcing efficient form, effective time management, good physiological and psychological practices and making sound equipment decisions from the get go! Being new to the sport and being on a custom training plan is a no brainer!
