Plan Description

Train Smarter for the Full Distance Triathlon New Zealand — Your Journey Starts Here

Are you preparing for the legendary Full Distance Triathlon New Zealand in Taupō? This race isn't just another triathlon—it's a rite of passage. With its crystal-clear 3.8km swim in Lake Taupō, 180km bike ride through scenic countryside, and 42.2km lakefront run lined with passionate support, Taupō delivers an unforgettable race experience. To perform your best on race day, you need more than motivation—you need a strategic plan built for success.

Introducing the Six-Month Full Distance Triathlon Intermediate Training Plan, meticulously designed to prepare athletes for the specific demands of Taupō’s course. Whether you're chasing a personal best or toeing the start line for the first time, this plan helps you build the endurance, speed, and mental strength needed to conquer one of the sport's most iconic full-distance events.

✅ Why This Plan Works for Taupō

Lake-Specific Swim Prep: You’ll train for open-water confidence in cooler temps (~65°F/18°C) with targeted swim sets and technique-focused drills.

Rolling Bike Course Mastery: Structured intervals and long rides simulate Taupō’s terrain, improving climbing strength and time trial endurance.

Four-Lap Run Strategy: Brick sessions and pacing workouts prepare you to thrive during the repetitive, crowd-supported loops of the run.

💡 Built for Busy Athletes
Start with just 8 hours in Week 1, building gradually to 16 hours at peak. The plan’s 3-weeks-on, 1-week-recovery cycle ensures consistent gains without overtraining.

💪 More Than Miles
Included are AI-generated run gait video analysis, swim drill instructionals, heart-rate and power-based intervals, and tri-specific strength sessions—all developed to enhance performance and reduce injury risk.

This isn't a beginner’s plan—it’s built for athletes who have a solid base and want to level up. You’ll tackle V02 intervals in the first week, test your limits, and train with intention every step of the way.

🔥 Ready to Commit?
This is your moment to train with purpose and cross that Taupō finish line stronger than ever. Take the leap and start your full Distance Triathlon journey today. Let's race smarter—you’re capable of more than you think. 🏆

Train hard. Race proud. Taupō is waiting.
