Plan Description
Dreaming of finishing the Full Distance Triathlon Japan—and hearing your name as you cross that finish line in Kikonai? Whether this is your first triathlon or your first time going the full 140.6 distance, this plan is built just for you.
You can do this. And we’ll help you get there—one workout at a time.
This 44-week Full Distance Triathlon Training Plan is designed specifically for first-time full-distance triathletes who are ready to take on the extraordinary challenge of Japan’s legendary course. It’s more than just training. It’s a guided journey that transforms you from beginner to triathlete, step by step.
🏁 Weeks 1–12: Build Your Foundation
Start with just 4.5 hours per week—focused on building confidence, technique, and endurance. You'll develop essential swim skills for the iconic Tsugaru Kaikyo straits, and begin low-impact strength sessions that support your entire body.
💪 Weeks 13–44: Grow Stronger, Go Longer
Gradually build your training volume up to 14 hours/week. You'll learn how to ride longer, run smarter, and recover better. Our structured approach includes:
✔️ Easy-to-follow workouts designed around effort level and heart rate—not complex pace charts
✔️ Beginner-friendly strength training to help prevent injuries and build lasting fitness
✔️ Swim videos and drills to make open-water feel natural—even if you’re new to it
✔️ Personal coaching support by email whenever you need encouragement, guidance, or answers
✔️ Real-world race prep with Brick workouts and endurance tests to boost your confidence
✔️ Room for life with built-in recovery weeks and flexibility for “B” and “C” races
With average race-day temps in the 70s and a fast, flat bike and run course, Full Distance Triathlon Japan is the perfect place for your triathlon dream to become reality.
🎯 You don’t need to be fast. You just need to be consistent—and we’ll show you how.
✅ You’re not just training for a race—you’re becoming a triathlete.
✅ You won’t be doing it alone—you’ll have expert support along the way.
👉 Take the first step today. Start your Full Distance Triathlon journey now—with the plan that’s built for beginners, backed by coaching, and made for success in Japan.
