Plan Description
Conquer the Course with Confidence—From Sluis to the Zeedijk
Our 44-week beginner triathlon training plan is expertly designed to prepare you for the fast, flat bike, the calm canal swim, and the spectator-lined beachside run that define this spectacular European race.
The 1.9km swim in the Damsche Vaart offers calm, current-free waters—perfect conditions to apply the swim techniques and endurance you'll develop during our 12-week base phase. You’ll build comfort in open water and improve your efficiency with structured drills and video-based swim instruction. 🏊♂️
As you enter the 90km bike course, weaving through green landscapes and Dutch-Belgian border towns, you’ll be grateful for the power and stamina developed through heart rate–based rides and strength-specific cycling workouts. The plan gradually builds from 9.5 to 14 training hours weekly, ensuring you’re ready for a strong, sustained effort on this one-loop, fast and flat course. 🚴
Then, it’s on to the three-loop 21.1km run along Knokke-Heist’s scenic Zeedijk. With residents cheering from the beachfront promenade, your body will be primed for performance thanks to structured RPE/heart-rate run sessions and endurance-focused long runs. You’ll hit your stride right when it matters most. 🏃
