Plan Description

The Full Distance Triathlon Lake Placid begins by tackling a 2.4-mile swim in the calm, clear waters of Mirror Lake, where an underwater cable eases navigation on this two-loop course. The 112-mile bike leg winds through the Adirondacks with nearly 8,000 feet of elevation gain, featuring iconic segments like the Keene Descent and Papa Bear Hill. The race finishes with a 26.2-mile run on rolling hills through Lake Placid Village and River Road. With July temperatures ranging from 63°F–72°F (17–22°C), athletes must be well-prepared for terrain, weather, and race-day fatigue.

Our structured 44-week Full Distance Triathlon training plan is specifically designed to meet the unique demands of this course, whether you're a first-timer or returning to improve.

✅ Foundation First (Weeks 1–12): Build endurance and resilience with progressive swim, bike, and run sessions. Start with 4.5 hours/week and steadily increase to 8 hours, preparing your body for more intensive load without overtraining.

✅ Course-Specific Preparation (Weeks 13–44): The remaining 32 weeks focus on interval bike workouts, brick sessions to simulate transition fatigue, and long runs mimicking River Road’s rolling terrain. Athletes gradually peak at 16 training hours/week, ensuring readiness for Lake Placid’s elevation profile.

✅ Swim with Confidence: Open water swim drills and sighting practice prepare you for Mirror Lake’s two-loop course and potential race-day conditions.

✅ Bike Stronger, Climb Smarter: Targeted hill intervals and power-based sessions build strength and efficiency for climbing and descending through the Adirondacks.

✅ Run with Purpose: Weekly long runs and tempo efforts help manage fatigue and pacing across Lake Placid’s undulating course.

✅ Injury Prevention + Strength Training: Integrated mobility and strength sessions reduce injury risk while building muscular endurance crucial for race day.

📧 Coach Support Included: Every plan includes personalized email access to a certified triathlon coach—answering your questions, guiding your progression, and adjusting the plan as needed.

🎯 Train smart. Build confidence. Arrive at the Lake Placid start line fully prepared.
