Plan Description

Train with Purpose for the Full Distance Triathlon California

With its scenic point-to-point swim in the American River, fast and flat bike through Sacramento’s fertile farmlands, and run past iconic landmarks like the Tower Bridge and California State Capitol, this race is made for high-performance athletes looking to PR—and our 44-week Full Distance Triathlon Training Plan is built to get you there.

This expertly designed plan prepares your body and mind to thrive on this specific course:

✅ Race-Specific Swim Prep: You'll develop endurance and technique for the 2.4-mile river swim with open-water drills and current-specific swim sets—perfect for mimicking the flowing waters of the American and Sacramento Rivers.
✅ Bike Power & Efficiency: Tackle the fast, two-loop 112-mile bike course with structured intervals, tempo rides, and progressive long rides designed to build sustained power on flat terrain.
✅ Run Strong to the Finish: The 26.2-mile run is flat and fast—and so is your training. We focus on pacing, nutrition, and mental toughness to help you cruise through both loops with strength and confidence.
✅ Phased for Peak Performance:

🔥 12-Week Foundation Phase: Build resilience, aerobic strength, and form.

🏁 32-Week Race-Specific Block: With a proven 3:1 load-to-recovery cycle, we layer intensity and volume to push your limits—safely.
✅ Advanced Training Strategies: From VO₂ Max intervals to Anaerobic Threshold and ATP-PC hill accelerations, we fine-tune every system you’ll need on race day.
✅ Personalized Support: Get coaching guidance when it counts. Every plan includes email access to a certified coach—ask questions, get feedback, and stay on track.

Whether you're aiming for a PR or your best-ever performance, this Full Distance Triathlon training plan is your strategic edge. Sacramento’s flat, fast course rewards disciplined training—and that’s exactly what this plan delivers.

💪 Your race day success begins with the right plan. Let's get you across that Tower Bridge finish line stronger than ever. Start your journey with a plan designed to match your ambition—plus expert email coach support to guide you every step of the way.
