Every phase of the plan is built to match the demands of the course—helping you develop the endurance, strength, and race-day confidence needed for peak performance.
🏊 Swim Preparedness for Sandefjordsfjorden
The plan’s video-based swim drills and open-water sessions prepare you for the 1.9km swim in sheltered fjord waters, with the skills to handle the Australian exit and re-entry. Cold-water acclimatization guidance supports comfort and efficiency in expected 18–20°C temperatures.
🚴 Bike Strength for Norway’s Rolling Countryside
Two-lap, 90km bike workouts mimic the rolling terrain, flat stretches, and gentle curves of the Norwegian countryside. Interval and tempo rides improve sustained speed, while brick sessions prepare you for the bike-to-run transition. Training includes power-based sessions to handle long efforts between the two aid stations per lap, keeping you race-day ready.
