If you're preparing to take on the Full Distance Triathlon in Arizona, this 36-week Intermediate Triathlon Training Plan is your ultimate blueprint for success. Every phase of your journey has been designed with the Arizona course in mind—so you show up race-ready, confident, and primed to perform.

🏊‍♂️ Swim Training Tailored for Tempe Town Lake
The race kicks off with a single-loop, 2.4-mile swim in the calm waters of Tempe Town Lake—ideal for executing your open-water swim skills. Our plan emphasizes open water swim practice, sighting drills, and endurance intervals to build confidence for a wetsuit-legal, 61°F swim start.

🚴 Bike Workouts Built for Beeline Highway
Arizona's 112-mile bike course is fast and scenic, with a gradual climb on the Beeline Highway and 1,400 ft of elevation gain. You’ll be prepared for this rolling, three-loop ride through desert terrain with:
✅ Long tempo and sustained climb intervals
✅ Progressive brick workouts for ride-to-run transitions
✅ Structured bike sessions with Heart Rate or Power targets
✅ Strength training to build resilience on fast descents and steady climbs

🏃‍♂️ Run Conditioning for a Flat and Fast Finish
The three-loop, 26.2-mile run winds along Tempe Town Lake and Papago Park, offering flat terrain perfect for setting a personal best. We’ve built your run training around:
✅ Anaerobic threshold runs for pacing mastery
✅ Endurance track workouts for late-race strength
✅ Multi-loop simulation runs to mirror the course layout
✅ Strategic “race pace” bricks that mimic race-day fatigue
