Plan Description

The Full Distance Triathlon in Lake Placid is a demanding test where you'll face a 2.4-mile swim in Mirror Lake’s clear waters, a 112-mile bike ride through the Adirondacks with nearly 8,000 feet of climbing—including the fast-paced Keene Descent and the relentless Papa Bear Hill—and a 26.2-mile marathon through rolling terrain and the energetic Lake Placid Village. With cool July temperatures (63–72°F / 17–22°C) and shifting elevation, success requires more than general endurance—it demands a race-specific training strategy.

🌟 Designed for the Advanced Triathlete, our 24-week Full Distance Triathlon Training Plan aligns perfectly with the course profile and performance demands of Lake Placid. This is not a beginner’s plan—prior aerobic base training of 4 to 6 weeks is essential.

Here’s how this plan prepares you:

✅ Open Water Swim Sessions simulate the start at Mirror Lake, while instructional drills fine-tune your stroke and sighting technique

✅ Anaerobic Threshold Bike Intervals & Hill Climbing Sessions build the power needed for sustained climbs and technical descents in the Adirondacks

✅ Structured Brick Workouts help you adapt to bike-to-run transitions on rolling hills

✅ VO2 Max & Anaerobic Power Training elevate your speed and resilience on River Road’s undulating run course

✅ Heart Rate & Power-Based Intervals ensure you pace efficiently and avoid burnout on race day

✅ Strength & ATP-PC Workouts improve muscular endurance and boost your late-race performance

✅ Video Run Gait Analysis enhances technique, reducing injury risk and increasing efficiency

Your weekly commitment grows from 10.5 to 18 hours, progressively building volume and intensity to match Lake Placid’s unique terrain and climate. Each workout is structured with intention—designed to reduce overuse injuries while building the mental and physical confidence required for race day.
