Sprint and Olympic Distance Training Program by Dahlz Performance Coaching

Welcome to GGTC’s 19th year of its Olympic Distance training Program!

This year has turned out a little different than we all initially anticipated! However, with the Oly training program and under the guidance of a professional triathlon coach, you can work together with a small, core group of teammates, to achieve the goal of training for and finishing an Olympic or Sprint distant triathlon.

With many of the Fall races cancelled, we will plan to organize our own in-person triathlon at the conclusion of the program for all Oly participants, so long as we are able to safely do so while complying with any state and local mandates that may be in effect at that time.

As currently planned, this program will follow the traditional Oly Training Program structure of 3-4 group, coached workouts per week along with additional on-your-own workouts. The group workouts will be structured such that we are able to meet all state and local requirements and recommendations surrounding keeping ourselves and our community safe from the spread of COVID-19. This program is designed specifically to match your level of fitness and ability.

John Dahlz, a veteran triathlon coach and accomplished professional triathlete, will lead this ten-week training program along a team of captains and assistants.

Sprint Distance Racers will swim .5 mile, bike 12.4 miles and run 3.1 miles. Olympic Distance Racers will swim .92 mile, bike 25 miles, and run 6.2 miles. When you cross the finish line you will experience a feeling that is beyond compare!

What members have to say:

"The Oly program combined an amazing coach and incredibly patient and kind captains, to help me grow more then I ever thought possible. I’ve made true friends and find that every time I do the program it gets better and better."
