This comprehensive Middle Distance Triathlon training plan is perfectly tailored to prepare you for the unique demands of the Gunsan Korea course, ensuring you perform your best on race day. The swim takes place in calm, sheltered Yellow Sea waters, requiring efficient technique and endurance for two laps totaling 1.9 km. The training plan’s progressive swim workouts, including expert-led video drills, will sharpen your stroke and build stamina to handle these clear, protected waters with confidence while navigating marked buoys safely.

The 90 km bike course at Gunsan features four laps along the Saemangeum seawall—the world’s longest seawall—on flat, fast, and traffic-free roads with occasional coastal winds. The plan’s structured bike sessions, guided by heart rate and power metrics, develop sustained power, speed, and wind resistance awareness. The steady progression from aerobic base rides to high-intensity threshold intervals will help you master the mostly flat terrain and maintain focus and strength throughout multiple laps with breathtaking views.

Your 21.1 km run is three laps on a flat, eco-friendly waterfront course designed for fast running and scenic enjoyment. The run workouts in this Middle Distance Triathlon plan emphasize building endurance, increasing pace, and developing race-day stamina. Masters-focused strength training exercises enhance durability and injury resilience, keeping you strong and comfortable over the half-marathon distance. Consistent hydration and pacing strategies taught in the plan prepare you to stay fueled and comfortable through all three laps.
