Plan Description

Unlock Peak Performance for Your Full Distance Triathlon South Africa Race

Get ready to conquer one of the most breathtaking and challenging races on the planet with our expertly crafted 36-Week Full Distance Triathlon Intermediate Training Plan. Whether you're racing along the South African coastline, battling ocean currents, or navigating the dynamic bike and run courses, this plan is your roadmap to the finish line.

What You’ll Get:

🔥 12-Week Base Phase
Start strong with a base-building phase designed to develop aerobic endurance—no prior mileage needed. This phase lays the foundation for your success with a structured, manageable progression.

💪 24-Week Build to Peak Phase
This is where your transformation happens. Featuring a 3:1 training cycle (three weeks build, one week recovery), this phase ramps intensity while keeping injury risk low.

🏋️ Strength & VO2 Development
Early focus on full-body strength training, swim technique drills, and VO2 intervals prepares you for the heavy load ahead while enhancing efficiency and power output.

🌊 Race-Specific Volume & Intensity
Begin week 13 with 7 training hours and build to around 16 hours/week. Includes open water swim prep, tempo sessions, brick workouts, and long rides—mirroring the demands of South Africa’s Full Distance Triathlon.

🏃‍♂️ Endurance-Focused Run & Bike Workouts
With anaerobic threshold training, endurance track sessions, and interval-based bike workouts, you’ll be fully equipped for the undulating course and windy coastal roads of South Africa.

🎥 Pro-Grade Instructional Videos
Access in-depth swim drill breakdowns, strength workouts, and interval session guidance—all tailored for the intermediate triathlete using Heart Rate or Power-based training.

With its ocean swim, rolling hills, and high-energy run course, our plan is optimized to meet every challenge South Africa throws your way.
