Plan Description

This 44-week advanced training plan is purpose-built to meet the physiological and strategic demands of the Calella-Barcelona course. Every workout has intent. Every phase is structured to align with your long-term adaptation curve. Here's how it prepares you to race, not just finish:

✅ Phase 1: 12-Week Foundation Phase with Strategic Load Progression
This isn't just base training—this is structured pre-season periodization. Weekly volume increases from 6 to 10 hours, designed to build durability while minimizing early fatigue accumulation. The capstone brick in Week 12 is not a test—it's an early stress-adaptation checkpoint to set the tone for the specificity to come.

✅ Phase 2: 32-Week Full Distance Triathlon-Specific Programming
This is where experienced athletes separate themselves. A 3:1 build/recovery ratio allows for supercompensation and sustainable high-end gains. You're training in progressive periodized blocks that target your aerobic engine, muscular endurance, threshold control, and peak pacing—all aligned with the course profile of Calella-Barcelona.

✅ Course-Specific Conditioning

Swim: The Mediterranean loop requires open-water efficiency, not just pool speed. Sessions include sustained effort sets, sighting practice, and threshold swims that mimic the calm but strategic swim start at Calella Beach.

Bike: Two-loop course to Badalona = high-speed TT simulation with aero-focused sessions. You'll train on long intervals to match sustained effort demands with minimal elevation, emphasizing steady-state power and fueling precision.

Run: Three flat laps = a psychological challenge. Long runs are layered with marathon-pace control work, negative splits, and mental toughness drills to mirror the final 42.2 km under fatigue.

🧠 Advanced Methodology
Sessions incorporate VO2 Max, Anaerobic Threshold, and ATP-PC work—but placed intentionally within your load cycle to maximize adaptation, not just “do more.” You're training smarter, not just longer.

📈 Built-In Peak + Taper Strategy
Training peaks at 18 hours/week by Week 39, then tapers with a performance retention model—balancing glycogen restoration, neuromuscular sharpness, and mental clarity.

📬 Direct Access to Personalized Email Coaching Support
Advanced athletes need nuance. You’ll have direct line support from coaches who understand that one-size-fits-all doesn’t cut it at this level.
