This is not a beginner’s plan — it’s a precision-built, 24-week Middle Distance Triathlon training program for advanced amateur athletes who demand more than just “finish-line fitness.” Every session is engineered for the demands of Almere-Amsterdam: a fast but technical Weerwater swim, a power-focused 94 km bike leg across wind-exposed dikes, and a flat, high-cadence run through the heart of the city.

✅ Elite Swim Preparation – Dial in race-specific pacing for a 1.9 km open-water effort with minimal chop but long, uninterrupted segments. Advanced interval sets, sighting practice, and underwater efficiency drills deliver the speed you need while preserving energy for T1.

✅ High-Power Cycling for the Dike – Structured sweet spot, threshold, and VO₂ intervals target maximum sustained output for the flat 94 km bike course. Wind simulation sessions prepare you for the exposed, below-sea-level terrain where aerodynamics and discipline determine your split.

✅ Run Efficiency Under Fatigue – Pacing and cadence refinement for the 900 m opener and two 10.1 km loops, integrating brick workouts to replicate the muscular demands of running off a high-intensity bike.

✅ Strength for Sustained Output – Functional strength phases build stability for extended aero position riding, while mobility work reduces fatigue accumulation across race day.

✅ Advanced Periodization – 3:1 build-to-recovery structure with integrated “B” race peak, ensuring you arrive at Almere at your physiological and tactical best.

✅ Performance Data Integration – Structured sessions synced to Garmin, with swim workouts displayed on your watch for pool and open-water efficiency without paper or guesswork.

This plan layers aerobic depth with anaerobic threshold development, VO₂ max power, and ATP-PC sprint capability — giving you the adaptability to handle pace surges, wind shifts, and the mental grind of sustained speed.

💬 Includes personalized email coach support to fine-tune pacing, fueling, and strategy for maximum race-day execution.
