Plan Description

Master the unique challenges of the Middle Distance Triathlon in Montréal with this expertly crafted 36-week program, designed to match the demands of every stage of this iconic race. Beginning with a 12-week foundation phase and progressing into a 24-week race-specific build, this plan prepares you to thrive on the Olympic Basin swim, the lightning-fast Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve bike course, and the flat, high-energy half-marathon run.

✅ Swim-Ready Fitness – Targeted pool and open-water sessions refine technique, improve sighting, and build sustained speed—perfect for the calm, controlled waters of the Olympic Basin.

✅ Bike Power & Efficiency – Structured endurance rides, VO₂ max intervals, and power sprints simulate the sustained output and surges needed for 21 laps of Montréal’s world-famous F1 track, while respecting non-drafting race rules.

✅ Run Endurance & Speed – Half-marathon-specific pacing, threshold runs, and anaerobic intervals prepare your legs to hold a strong, even pace over the 4½ flat laps on the historic Olympic site.

✅ Strength & Resilience – Functional strength and progressive overload reduce injury risk and improve durability, critical for handling the training load and race-day demands.

Built around a proven 3:1 training cycle—three weeks of focused training followed by one week of active recovery—this Middle Distance Triathlon plan starts at 9.5 hours per week and peaks at 14.5 hours, ensuring steady gains without burnout.

From aerobic base building to anaerobic threshold training, climbing accelerations to ATP-PC sprint work, each phase is precisely timed to have you arriving at race week primed for peak performance. Whether your goal is a personal best or to compete at the front, you’ll have the guidance, structure, and confidence to excel.

🔥 Includes personalized email coach support—so you’re never training alone.

Secure your plan today and be fully prepared to race the Middle Distance Triathlon Montréal with strength, speed, and strategy.
