Plan Description
Welcome to the 44-Week Advanced Training Plan, the ultimate blueprint to master the Full Distance Triathlon South Africa – one of the most breathtaking and challenging endurance events on the planet. Whether you're chasing a personal best or aiming for a podium finish, this plan is built to get you across the Hobie Beach finish line stronger than ever.
💪 Why This Plan Works for Full Distance South Africa:
🔥 12-Week Foundation Phase
Start smart. Lay a rock-solid endurance base with gradual weekly volume, building from 6 to 10 hours. Week 12 culminates in a critical Brick endurance test to ensure you’re ready to level up.
📆 32-Week Full Distance Focused Program
Experience the power of a 3:1 training cycle — three weeks of structured intensity, followed by one week of active recovery. Designed to match the demands of South Africa’s dynamic terrain and unpredictable coastal winds.
⏰ Progressive Volume & Strategic Taper
Ramp from 10 to 18 hours per week with purpose-built workouts that simulate real race scenarios. A 2-week taper ensures you're fresh, strong, and ready to perform on race day.
🌍 Tailored for South Africa’s Iconic Course
Swim: Build open-water confidence with interval sets and sighting drills to handle the two-lap swim in Algoa Bay’s choppy currents.
Bike: Power through long rides and simulate the rolling 3-loop course with tempo efforts and climbing drills, perfect for Marine Drive and surrounding hills.
Run: Cruise along spectator-packed beachfronts with run workouts designed for flat terrain, fast cadence, and mental resilience over four laps.
🧠 Science-Driven & Holistic
Our plan integrates:
Endurance Base Training
VO2 Max Intervals
Anaerobic Threshold Workouts
ATP-PC Sprint Training
Climbing Acceleration Drills
Everything is designed to maximize performance and prevent burnout, helping you peak exactly when it matters most.
