Plan Description
Taking on a Full Distance Triathlon is a bold, life-changing decision—especially in Florida, one of the fastest yet most uniquely challenging courses in the U.S. From ocean currents to flat, humid terrain, this race demands more than just fitness—it calls for preparation, courage, and belief in yourself.
That’s why we created our 44-week Florida Full Distance Triathlon Training Plan—built from the ground up for athletes just like you. Whether you're dreaming of your first finish line or returning to chase a personal best, this plan guides you with clarity, structure, and support every step of the way.
💦 SWIM: Build Confidence Stroke by Stroke
The ocean swim at Russel-Fields Pier is as breathtaking as it is demanding. With warm, wetsuit-legal waters and gentle waves, it’s the perfect setting to develop your confidence in open water.
🏊♂️ Technique-first swim sessions with clear, guided drills
🌊 Brick workouts that prepare you for the swim-to-bike transition
📈 Gradual volume progression to build comfort and stamina in open water
🚴 BIKE: Ride Strong, Stay Steady
The 112-mile bike ride through Pine Log State Forest offers speed and beauty—but also tests your ability to hold pace and focus. Wind and subtle terrain shifts can wear you down unless you're prepared.
🚴♂️ Effort-based workouts using RPE and heart rate for smart pacing
🚴♀️ Progressive long rides to build endurance and race-day readiness
💪 Strength training to support your aero position and power output
🏃 RUN: Find Your Finish Line
The final stretch along Front Beach Road is flat and lined with cheers—but the real challenge is pushing through fatigue and heat. That's why our plan goes beyond miles and minutes.
🏃♂️ Fueling protocols to help you thrive in Florida’s humidity
🏃♀️ Tempo, interval, and brick runs that mimic race-day conditions
💡 More Than a Plan—It’s a Roadmap to Your Finish Line
✔️ 12-week base phase to build durability and confidence
✔️ 32-week race-specific progression to sharpen your performance
⏱️ Starts at just 7.5 hours/week and gradually builds to a manageable peak of 14 hours
🔁 Taper built-in to ensure you're fresh, focused, and fully prepared
