I have a buddy interested in doing a 70.3 and a marathon.

I've referred him to Higdon's plans for the marathon. What are good plans for a 70.3 beg or intermediate?

Thanks in advance!

TriDot if he wants a more DIY approach

Higdon's and Hanson's marathon plans are great but unless he has a bunch of free time, it's going to be challenging to also layer on a 70.3 plan as prescribed. That's kinda making the rude assumption that he's the typical person I've encountered that just completed their first couple half-marathons and is looking for a new challenge - they normally underestimate the challenge of going from 4-5rpw to training 3 disciplines.

That aside, the simple Matt Fitzgerald plan Triathlete magazine publishes is good enough to get to the finish. I personally use Joe Friel's plans loaded into TrainingPeaks and when training for a Full I pay for premium so I can track more metrics, rearrange WO if my work schedule gets demanding, etc.
