Plan Description
Train Smarter for the Full Distance Triathlon in Vitoria-Gasteiz
With a 3.8 km lake swim in Landa Provincial Park, a record-setting 180.2 km bike route through Álava’s historic countryside, and a flat 42.2 km city-center run surrounded by spectators, success on this course demands a well-structured, comprehensive training strategy.
The 44-Week Full Distance Triathlon Beginner Training Plan is engineered to prepare you for the unique demands of this course—mentally and physically—through a progressive and evidence-based framework. With two distinct phases (a 12-week base and 32-week build), you’ll develop the endurance, resilience, and skill required to race confidently in Spain’s Basque Country.
Here’s how this training plan directly benefits your race in Vitoria-Gasteiz:
✅ Swim Efficiency in Open Water Conditions
Targeted swim drills and video instruction help you become streamlined and confident in a single-loop lake swim—minimizing energy loss and maximizing pacing.
✅ Bike Strength for Rolling Terrain
Progressive cycling sessions build sustained power and efficiency for long distances—ideal for the varied yet fast course that traces the Camino de Santiago.
✅ Run Endurance for Flat, Fast Courses
Pacing based on RPE and heart rate, prepare you to stay steady and strong through the final 42.2 km—especially in the high-energy city center.
✅ Performance Peaks with Race-Day Specificity
Includes periodized training that builds from 7.5 to 14 hours per week, with space for “B” and “C” races, culminating in peak readiness for Vitoria-Gasteiz’s predictable summer temps and terrain.
