Plan Description
Are you ready to race the Full Distance Triathlon California and make your mark on one of the most scenic and flat triathlon courses in the U.S.? This expertly crafted 44-week Full Distance Triathlon training plan is your blueprint for success. Whether you're chasing a PR or looking to finish strong, this program is designed to elevate experienced intermediate triathletes through intelligent, progressive training.
🏊 Swim Course Preparation – Confidence from Stroke One
The 2.4-mile point-to-point swim down the American and Sacramento Rivers is swift—but not to be underestimated. You'll build endurance through open-water-focused workouts, progressive swim volume, and technique-based drills featured in our foundation phase. Weekly swim sets are supported by exclusive video instruction, ensuring you're prepared for current-assisted conditions and sighting downstream.
🚴 Bike Course Readiness – Speed Across the Farm-to-Fork Heartland
This fast, flat, two-loop 112-mile ride is a dream for athletes looking to test speed and stamina. Your training plan ramps up to 16 hours per week, featuring tempo rides, aerodynamic positioning, race-pace intervals, and long bricks to simulate real race fatigue. You'll be ready to push watts consistently across the Sacramento farmlands—and crush your bike split.
🏃 Run Course Confidence – Cruise Past the Capitol
The 26.2-mile run is flat, scenic, and perfect for pacing mastery. Our plan blends threshold intervals, negative split training, and strategic long runs to help you conquer the mental and physical demands of the marathon. With repeated brick sessions and fatigue-resistance building, you’ll hit the finish line near the Tower Bridge with strength and pride.
