Experience race-day readiness like never before. This Middle Distance Triathlon training plan is engineered for high-performance amateur athletes targeting the iconic Montréal course — where precision, speed, and endurance meet Olympic history. Every detail of your preparation aligns with the unique demands of this event: a calm, fast swim in the Olympic Basin, the legendary multi-lap bike on Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, and a flat, fast half-marathon run through the heart of Olympic Park.

✅ Race-Specific Swim Mastery – Targeted pool drills and open-water sessions prepare you for the 1.9 km (≈1.2 mi) calm-water swim, perfecting stroke efficiency, sighting, and pacing to set up a strong bike.
✅ Cycling Power & Precision – Interval-based cycling workouts replicate the demands of 21 high-speed laps on the F1 track, building sustained power while respecting the 12-meter draft rule and 25-second pass allowance.
✅ Half-Marathon Run Efficiency – Structured brick workouts and tempo sessions develop your ability to run strong off the bike, mirroring the flat, fast 4½-lap course for consistent pacing and negative splits.
✅ Periodized 3/1 Structure – Three weeks of progressive load followed by one week of active recovery ensures peak performance without burnout, with your “B” race integrated for sharpening.
✅ Data-Driven Performance – Heart rate and power-based training syncs seamlessly with Garmin and compatible devices, letting you execute every workout with pro-level precision.
✅ Strength for Endurance – Functional and conventional strength sessions reinforce core stability, injury prevention, and all-day race stamina.
✅ Comprehensive Energy System Training – From aerobic base building to VO₂ max, anaerobic threshold, ATP-PC sprint power, and cycling power intervals, every phase moves you closer to your best race ever.

💬 Personalized email coach support keeps you accountable, answers your questions, and fine-tunes your training for Montréal’s unique challenges.
