Plan Description

Full Distance Triathlon California is fast, flat, and scenic—but it demands serious preparation. From the flowing American River swim to the flat-and-fast bike through farm country, and the energy-filled run past the Capitol, you need a plan tailored for performance. Our Full Distance Triathlon Intermediate Training Plan delivers exactly that.

🔥 What Makes This Plan Stand Out?

✅ Structured for Success – Built around a proven 3:1 periodization model (3 weeks of training, 1 week recovery), this plan ensures you're building endurance and speed without burnout.
✅ Start Strong, Finish Stronger – You'll begin with V02 interval training in Week 1, immediately improving aerobic capacity—key for the fast California bike course.
✅ Swim Ready for the Rivers – Specific open-water swim sessions prepare you for the current-assisted swim down the American and Sacramento Rivers.
✅ Crush the Bike Leg – Structured rides, based on heart rate and power, simulate the race’s flat, fast terrain—perfect for pushing your limits.
✅ Run Like a Pro – Our plan includes progressive brick workouts and long runs tailored to mimic the flat, two-loop California course so you can finish strong under the Tower Bridge spotlight.
✅ Time-Efficient – Starts at 8 hours/week and peaks around 16—ideal for busy athletes who still want to perform at a high level.
✅ Smart Support Tools – Get AI-Generated Run Gait Video Analysis, swim drill videos, strength training with visual guides*, and structured interval sessions.
