Plan Description
The Full Distance Triathlon Lake Placid is one of the most demanding endurance races in the world—featuring a 2.4-mile swim in Mirror Lake, a 112-mile ride through the hilly Adirondacks, and a 26.2-mile marathon on rolling terrain. With challenging climbs, steep descents, and unpredictable weather, success on this course requires more than grit—it demands a highly structured, targeted training approach.
This 36-week Full Distance Triathlon advanced training plan is engineered specifically for athletes preparing for events like Lake Placid. The program builds gradually, beginning with a 12-week Base Phase (6–9.5 hours/week) to establish a strong aerobic foundation and conclude with a brick test to assess fitness. From there, the 24-week Race Phase increases volume and intensity (up to 18 hours/week) while incorporating purposeful “B” and “C” races that simulate real race conditions.
Designed to meet the exact demands of Lake Placid’s terrain and climate, the plan includes:
Swim Mastery Modules with technique-focused drills to navigate the two-loop Mirror Lake swim efficiently and confidently.
Climbing Interval Bike Workouts to prepare you for the nearly 8,000 feet of elevation, including iconic features like “Papa Bear Hill” and the Keene descent.
Brick Sessions that simulate bike-to-run fatigue, helping you adapt to the marathon’s rolling profile along River Road.
Structured Run Intervals focused on aerobic threshold, VO₂ max, and endurance—essential for managing the cumulative stress of race day.
Weather-smart guidance aligned with Lake Placid’s July race conditions (63°F–72°F), helping you train effectively in similar environments.
With a blend of science-backed workouts and progression, this Full Distance Triathlon training plan supports performance, minimizes injury risk, and builds lasting confidence. Plus, it includes personalized email support from an experienced coach to guide you through each phase.
Are you ready to conquer Lake Placid? Invest in a proven plan designed for success on one of the toughest Full Distance Triathlon courses. Your journey to the finish line starts today.
