Plan Description
You’re not here to finish—you’re here to compete. To push limits. To go all-in.
The Full Distance Triathlon Japan is unlike any other. A 3.8km swim through the legendary Tsugaru Kaikyo straits, a 180km no-stop, no-limit ride along the Hakodate-Esashi Expressway, and a flat, fast marathon through South Hokkaido’s open countryside—it’s a course that rewards power, discipline, and unshakable preparation.
This 44-week Full Distance Triathlon training plan is built for serious amateur athletes who race with purpose. If you’re chasing a sub-10 finish, an age-group podium, or a World Championship slot—this is your edge.
🔥 Here’s how you train to rise above:
✅ 12-Week Foundation Phase
Build your engine with a precise aerobic base, strength development, and brick sessions that teach your body to go longer, harder, stronger. You’ll lay the groundwork for what’s to come.
✅ 32-Week Peak Performance Build
Structured in 3:1 blocks, every week drives you forward—with purpose. From threshold efforts to recovery strategies, every detail is calibrated to match Japan’s course demands and climate.
✅ Smart Progression, Real Results
You’ll train from 10 to 18 hours per week, peaking with confidence before entering a four-week taper that brings you to the start line fully primed, fully focused.
✅ Swim Prepared, Swim Fearless
Open-water sessions, current-resistance sets, and bilateral breathing drills prepare you for the Tsugaru straits—swimming with the calm, steady power of a seasoned racer.
✅ Bike with Relentless Precision
No traffic. No limits. Just pure speed. You’ll sharpen your endurance, refine your aero efficiency, and dial in your power zones to dominate the Expressway course.
✅ Run Strong in the Final 42.2km
Crush the marathon with smart pacing, fatigue-proof legs, and bricks that simulate the grind of looped racing. When others fade, you’ll surge.
✅ Built on Science, Backed by Experience
We integrate V̇O₂ max training, anaerobic power, lactate threshold development, and ATP-PC sprint work—engineered to make you race-ready in every sense.
✅ Coach Support That Fuels Your Ambition
This isn’t just a plan—it’s a partnership. With personalized email support from an expert coach, you’ll have feedback, guidance, and motivation tailored to your journey.
You already know what it takes to train hard. This is how you train smarter. If you're ready to commit fully—to rise, to perform, to leave nothing on the course—then this Full Distance Triathlon training plan is built for you.
👉 Start today. Train with precision. Race with confidence. And redefine what’s possible on the roads of Japan.
