Plan Description
Train Smarter for Full Distance Triathlon Frankfurt
This 44-week Full Distance Triathlon Beginner Training Plan is specifically designed to prepare you for the unique demands of Frankfurt’s course: a calm lake swim, fast but technical bike sections, and a flat, energetic run along the Main River.
This plan builds from the ground up with a clear two-phase structure:
✅ Phase 1 – 12-Week Base Phase
Establish foundational endurance while focusing on:
🏊 Efficient swim form and open-water skills
🏃 Run technique and low-intensity aerobic development
💪 Strength sessions to support injury prevention and muscular balance
🚴 Gradual bike volume and cadence control
✅ Phase 2 – 32-Week Full Distance Triathlon Specific Phase
Train progressively from 7.5 to 14 hours per week, carefully targeting:
🚴 Frankfurt’s bike demands with terrain-specific intervals and longer sustained rides
🏃 Pacing strategies for flat, fast running under race conditions
🏊 Race-day swim simulation and Australian exit practice
🔁 Brick sessions that mirror Frankfurt’s race-day rhythm
Throughout the program, your training adapts as your fitness improves. VO₂ intervals and anaerobic threshold sessions are introduced thoughtfully, helping you develop the strength and stamina to handle Frankfurt’s fast sections and mid-course climbs.
You’ll also receive:
📧 Email access to your coach—ask questions, adjust sessions, and get personalized support
🎥 Swim drill videos to improve technique
📈 RPE- and heart rate-guided sessions for smarter training
