Plan Description
The Middle Distance Triathlon Almere-Amsterdam Training Plan prepares you perfectly for every challenge of this race, ensuring peak performance on race day.
✅ Swim Readiness for Weerwater Lake
The single 1.9 km counterclockwise swim requires endurance and open water skills. This plan develops your aerobic base, sighting, and stroke technique through progressive swim drills and open water practice, helping you navigate the sheltered lake confidently and exit smoothly for T1.
✅ Bike Training for Fast, Flat, Windy Terrain
The ~94 km bike course on flat, exposed roads demands sustained power and wind management. Structured workouts include VO2 max and threshold intervals to build speed and efficiency, so you’re ready to maintain a strong pace across Almere’s below-sea-level countryside with minimal elevation gain.
✅ Run Endurance and Pacing for Multi-Lap Course
The mostly flat 21.2 km run includes two 10.1 km laps around Weerwater’s waterside paths and cityscapes. This plan builds endurance and tempo speed, with brick workouts to prepare your legs for the bike-to-run transition, helping you finish strong on race day.
✅ Complete Triathlon Preparation
In addition to swim, bike, and run, the program incorporates strength training and technique coaching to boost power and reduce injury risk. Instructional videos and heart rate/power-based sessions ensure you train efficiently.
✅ Race Experience Through “B” and “C” Events
Tune-up and low-stress races help you build confidence, assess fitness, and gain race-day experience before your Middle Distance Triathlon.
This 44-week Intermediate Training Plan starts with a 12-week base phase for athletes without prior structured training and progresses into 32 weeks of race-specific preparation. Weekly volume grows from 9 to 14 hours, crafted to maximize your potential.
🏅 Designed for intermediate triathletes seeking growth and endurance, this plan equips you to master the Middle Distance Triathlon Almere-Amsterdam.
