Overview

Tri Nerds UNCOVER (Long) is the flagship year-round team training program for Olympic (Standard) and 70.3 Half-Distance triathletes. Instead of a static PDF or disconnected spreadsheet, UNCOVER connects your personal calendar directly to the live Tri Nerds team progression. When you subscribe to UNCOVER and apply this program to your calendar, upcoming team workouts automatically sync 14 days ahead in real time. Every swim, bike, run, and brick session is dynamically scaled to your individual FTP, threshold heart rate, running pace, and CSS swim zones. Across the season, the team moves through structured Base, Build, Peak, and Race-Specific phases engineered to raise your aerobic ceiling, improve durability in the aero position, and help you run off the bike with confidence.

Methodology

• Rolling 14-Day Live Sync: Workouts appear on your personal calendar 14 days ahead and adapt automatically as your zones evolve. • Polarized & Threshold Periodization: Balances high-efficiency Zone 2 aerobic volume with targeted threshold, over-under, and race-pace brick sessions. • Weekly Check In & Group Q&A: Stay accountable with weekly readiness check-ins, team dashboard tracking, and direct access to the Tri Nerds community on Telegram.

Who this is for

Intermediate to experienced triathletes preparing for Standard (Olympic) or 70.3 Half-Distance races who thrive on structured daily programming, live biometric feedback, and team camaraderie.
