The flat, fast, and wind-exposed course of the Middle Distance Triathlon Almere-Amsterdam requires strategic preparation tailored to the venue’s unique conditions. This 36-week beginner-friendly triathlon training plan is designed to help you perform your best across the calm waters of Weerwater lake, the below-sea-level bike course, and the scenic, urban run around the city center.

Over the first 12-week foundation phase, you’ll build aerobic endurance, muscular strength, and open-water swim confidence. Instructional video drills refine your stroke for Weerwater’s smooth but sighting-focused swim, while RPE/heart rate-based run and bike workouts prepare you for steady pacing in race conditions.

The following 24-week build and race phase progressively develops speed, power, and race-specific fitness:
✅ Wind-resistance bike training to handle the exposed dike sections of the 94 km loop.
✅ Brick workouts to master the bike-to-run transition for the flat 21.1 km course.
✅ Endurance-focused runs to maintain pace over multiple loops around Weerwater’s paths and city streets.
✅ Open-water sessions that simulate race-day navigation and confidence.
✅ Strength and mobility routines (with video guidance) to enhance efficiency and prevent injury.

Starting at 7 hours per week and building to 12, every session has a clear purpose—balancing volume and recovery so you arrive at race day strong, fresh, and ready.
