Custom Training Plans by Tabula Rasa Racing

At Tabula Rasa Racing, we take great care in managing athlete training load and pay special attention to the athlete's ability to absorb the fitness gains we are working so hard to achieve. For that reason, we limit our custom training plans to cover up to a set distance. Anything over that distance, it is recommended the athlete consider custom coaching to allow for a more hands on approach to training load management. Tabula Rasa Racing custom training plans are available for the following:

• Running: Distances up to Half Marathon (13.1 miles or 21.1K)
• Cycling: Distances up to Metric Century (62 miles or 100K)
• Swimming: Distances up to 3.9K (2.4 miles)
• Triathlon: Distances up to Olympic triathlon
• Hiking: Distances up to 32.2K (20 miles)

Note: We will create a custom training plan for a relay team for any of the sports listed above, with the exception of triathlon, as long as the athlete's planned distance is less than the limits described above. For triathlon, we will create a custom training plan for a Half Ironman-Distance (70.3) Relay team as long as there are no less than three (3) members of the team. There is a unique price for this option since this plan is effectively three distinct individual plans for the members of the relay team (25% savings).

All training programs have the following options:

• Individual Option 
• Group Option (there is a limit of up to five (5) members and all group members follow the same plan) 

After you select the training program option, you select the type of plan you want. There are two (2) types of plans:

• Base Plan
• Plan Plus

All Base Plans include:

• A custom training plan in its entirety
• Basic Training Peaks subscription. Upgrade to a Premium Training Peaks subscription at a discounted price of $15/month per person (25% savings).
• Access to the "Locker Room", an athlete-only portion of the website with supporting and supplemental content created by Tabula Rasa Racing for the duration of the training plan.

All Plan Plus include:

• Everything from the Base Plan
• Feedback on training sessions
• Unlimited athlete-driven communication with Coach Justin
• After the race, you will receive a post-race debrief consultation (either in person, phone,  or video conference) going over performance, what went right, what went wrong, and suggestions on things to focus on going forward.

Training plans from Tabula Rasa Racing are not template training plans. These plans are built based on an extensive consultation with Coach Justin to discuss things like athletic experience relevant to the sport of interest, previous injuries/limitations, goals for the race/event, and how does training fit into your “real life”. Coach Justin uses this information to map out a custom training plan, in its entirety, for the athlete or group to follow. 

The duration of the plan is determined by information from the consultation and any other limiting factors. After the consultation is completed, Coach Justin will reach out via email with an expected date of when the plan will be available. The time it takes to develop the plan is subject to several unknowns such as the complexity and duration of the plan. For this reason, it is highly recommended you start the process sooner rather than later to ensure there is enough time to develop the plan and you get the desired plan duration.

Plans are disseminated using the Training Peaks platform in its entirety.
