Plan Description
Your First Full Distance Triathlon Starts Here—In Japan’s Most Breathtaking Arena
Embarking on a Full Distance Triathlon is one of the boldest and most rewarding challenges you’ll ever take on—and what better place to start your journey than in Japan, where the legendary Tsugaru Kaikyo Straits, the Hakodate-Esashi Expressway, and the lush countryside of Kikonai become your training ground, your test, and ultimately your triumph.
This is more than just traversing over 140 miles. - It’s a transformation.
And our 36-week beginner training plan is here to guide you—step by step, hour by hour, milestone by milestone—toward that finish line with confidence, purpose, and pride.
🏊 SWIM – 3.8KM in the Tsugaru Kaikyo Straits
Your first step begins in calm, open waters beneath the silhouette of Mount Hakodate.
Over 12 weeks, you'll build from the basics: open-water confidence, efficient form, and smart pacing, all supported by clear video tutorials.
This is where you stop saying “I’m not a swimmer” and start becoming one.
🚴 BIKE – 180KM on the Hakodate-Esashi Expressway
With no traffic lights and no stop signs, the open expressway offers you space to grow stronger and faster.
Across 24 weeks of focused training, you'll conquer long rides, build power through structured tempo sessions, and learn how to ride with purpose, not just distance.
This isn’t just a bike course—it’s your proving ground.
🏃 RUN – 42.2KM through the Kikonai Countryside
Flat. Scenic. Doable.
Race day temperatures hover around a comfortable 64°F (18°C), perfect for the marathon that seals your full-distance dream.
Through progressive brick workouts and mental strength training, you'll learn not just to run on tired legs—but to run proud, with purpose and grit.
✅ Why This Plan Works for Beginners
Builds Gradually: Start at just 4.5 hours/week—grow to 15 hours/week without burnout
Real-Life Race Simulation: Integrated brick workouts prepare your body and mind for the big day
Swim Smarter: Video drills help you move with more ease and confidence in open water
Endurance Built Right: Tempo runs and long bikes teach you to stay strong under fatigue
Ongoing Coach Support: You’re never alone—get email guidance every step of the way
🎯 This Isn’t Just a Training Plan—It’s Your Launchpad
Whether your goal is to finish with pride or prove something big to yourself, this plan gives you the structure, support, and motivation to make it happen.
You don’t need to be fast. You don’t need to be fearless. You just need to start.
