Plan Description

Tackling the Full Distance Triathlon Maryland means preparing for a 2.4-mile swim in the tidal Choptank River, a 112-mile ride through windswept rural flats, and a 26.2-mile marathon along the historic, spectator-lined streets of Cambridge. To meet this unique challenge, your training must be deliberate, progressive, and built for race-day performance.

๐ŸŽฏ Our 44-week Full Distance Triathlon Maryland Training Plan is designed to build your endurance, strength, and race confidence through a science-based structure that mirrors the terrain and rhythm of the Maryland course.

๐Ÿ’ก How This Plan Prepares You for Race Day
โœ… Swim-Ready for Tidal Waters
Our program improves your open-water technique and comfort in current-affected conditions like the Choptank River. You'll build endurance and pacing with structured swim workouts tailored to simulate race-day water temperatures and effort levels.

โœ… Bike Conditioning for Flat, Wind-Prone Roads
Train for long stretches through the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge with long, low-elevation bike workouts. Our sessions develop muscular endurance and mental focus essential for the largely unshaded, two-lap bike course.

โœ… Run Durability for a Repetitive, Flat Marathon
With three out-and-back loops on race day, mental toughness and consistent pacing are key. Our plan includes long runs, race-pace efforts, and brick workouts to prepare your legs and mind for a flat, repetitive course with vibrant crowd energy.

โœ… Progressive Periodization ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ
Beginning with a 12-week foundation phase and building into a 32-week specialized training block, the plan gradually increases training stress before tapering over the final four weeks. You'll peak with confidence, not exhaustion.

โœ… Advanced Physiological Training
Incorporating VO2 Max, anaerobic threshold, and ATP-PC power sessions, the plan develops every energy system youโ€™ll need to conquer the Maryland course from start to finish.

โœ… Holistic & Mindful Design
From strength and mobility to swim drills and active recovery, this plan nurtures your entire athletic profileโ€”especially critical for athletes over 40 seeking sustainable, injury-free progress.

๐ŸŒŸ Athletes Like You Are Already Crushing Their Goals
Whether you're a first-time finisher or aiming to PR, this plan offers structure, strategy, and personal support. Each purchase includes direct email access to a certified coach for guidance every step of the way.
