Picture yourself diving into the Atlantic at Les Atlantes beach, powering through the Vendée Globe canal, and riding deep into the French countryside before charging across the promenade toward the finish line. If you're aiming to race the Full Distance Triathlon Les Sables d’Olonne-Vendée, your journey starts with the 36-week Full Distance Triathlon Beginner Plan — built to turn your goal into your greatest achievement.
.
🏆 Why This Training Plan Works for Les Sables d’Olonne:
.
✅ Swim-Ready Confidence: From the first week, you'll build your stroke efficiency and endurance with guided drills that prepare you for the cool, choppy waters (66°F / 19°C) of the Vendée coast.
.
✅ Bike Course Mastery: With over 1,200 meters of climbing, this isn’t just a scenic ride — it’s a true challenge. This plan gradually ramps from 7.5 to 14.5 weekly hours during the main phase, featuring hill workouts, long rides, and brick sessions to simulate course demands.
.
✅ Run with Precision: The four-loop run along the promenade and Tanchet Lake is fast but exposed. Our plan prepares your legs and mind for the final 42.2 km with tempo runs, pacing strategies, and back-to-back long days.
.
✅ Built-in Periodization: Start with 12 weeks of base building (4.5–6 hrs/week), then progress through 24 weeks of focused Full Distance Triathlon training that includes structured recovery, intensity progression, and peak tapering.
.
✅ Brick by Brick, Stronger Every Week: Regular bike-to-run sessions build your ability to execute seamless transitions — crucial for the unique terrain of Les Sables.
.
✅ Coach Email Support: Have questions or hit a training wall? Get support directly from experienced coaches who understand the path you're on.
.
