Plan Description
This comprehensive Middle Distance Triathlon training plan is expertly designed to prepare you for the unique challenges of the Gunsan Korea course, ensuring you arrive race day confident and ready to perform at your best.
The race starts with a 1.9 km swim in the calm, sheltered Yellow Sea waters, demanding strong swim technique and endurance. Our 44-week plan begins with a 12-week foundational phase focusing on swim technique, strength, and base endurance—perfect for mastering the smooth, buoy-marked swim and building comfort in open water conditions.
Next, the plan elevates your training to develop power and stamina essential for the 90 km bike leg along the world’s longest seawall. The mostly flat, fast course with potential coastal winds requires sustained strength and pacing, which you’ll build through structured bike sessions that incorporate RPE and heart rate zones. This targeted bike training helps you handle the four laps with ease while soaking in the stunning coastal views.
Finally, the 21.1 km, 3-lap run along a flat, eco-friendly waterfront demands steady endurance and pacing. The plan’s run/jog sessions, structured by RPE and heart rate, train you to maintain a strong, comfortable pace for the half-marathon distance, while strength sessions improve your overall durability, helping you stay fueled and strong through every lap.
Key benefits of this Middle Distance Triathlon training plan include:
✅ Progressive build-up from 9.5 to 14 training hours weekly to safely increase fitness
✅ Expert swim drills with instructional videos for open water confidence
✅ Heart rate and RPE guided bike and run workouts tailored to course demands
✅ Strength training focused on injury prevention and endurance for beginners
✅ Practical race preparation with recommended “B” and “C” tune-up events to boost confidence
✅ Personalized email coach support to answer questions and keep you motivated
