The Middle Distance Triathlon in Turku, Finland delivers a thrilling city-center race—swimming in the Aura River, cycling on the E18 highway loops, and running along spectator-filled riverbanks. This 24-week training plan is purpose-built to prepare you for every detail of this event so you arrive at Varvintori Square on race day ready to perform at your absolute best.

⚠️ Base Training Requirement – Before starting, you should have a well-developed aerobic foundation and be comfortable training a minimum of 8–9 hours per week. This ensures you can handle the plan’s opening week of targeted aerobic, anaerobic threshold, and VO₂ max workouts, building toward a peak of 14.5 hours in week 19.

✅ Swim-Specific Prep for the Aura River – Targeted open water sessions, sighting drills, and pacing strategies prepare you for the upstream start, downstream finish, and rolling start format. Technique refinement and brick sessions ensure a smooth transition from swim to bike.

🚴 Bike Power for the E18 Highway Loops – Power-based intervals, sustained tempo rides, and VO₂ max training build the speed and endurance needed for the fast, flat, three-loop highway course while mastering long stretches in aero position.

🏃 Run Strength for the Riverbank Laps – Four-lap run simulations, threshold workouts, and pacing drills help you maintain speed and form across repetitive turns while tapping into the crowd’s energy in Turku’s city center.

📈 Data-Driven Precision – Sync structured workouts to your Garmin for accurate heart rate and power targets, keeping every session in the optimal training zone.

💪 Full-Body Conditioning – Functional and conventional strength training improves posture, stability, and efficiency in all three disciplines—critical for handling multiple transitions and holding form to the finish.

🔄 Progressive Build with Recovery – A 3:1 cycle balances intensity with rest, including a “B” race to sharpen your competitive edge.
