Plan Description
Full Distance Triathlon Hamburg Germany — Your Road to a Personal Best Starts Here
Ready to conquer the Full Distance Triathlon in Hamburg, Germany? The Competitive Masters 40+ Six-Month Full Distance Triathlon Training Plan is your ultimate guide to mastering this fast, iconic race. Designed specifically for experienced athletes over 40, this structured 24-week plan will help you race strong, smart, and confident through every kilometer of Hamburg’s stunning course.
Why This Plan Works for Hamburg:
Hamburg’s Full Distance Triathlon features a 3.8 km (2.4 mile) swim through the scenic Inner and Outer Alster, typically calm and cool at 70°F (21°C). You’ll need open water experience and refined technique—exactly what our early swim drills and video tutorials target.
The 179 km bike course is flat, fast, and perfect for setting personal records. With heart rate and power-based training, you’ll build the strength and pacing control needed to fly across Hamburg’s iconic roads, from the Reeperbahn to the lush Vier- und Marschlande.
Finally, the four-loop 42.2 km (26.2 mile) run winds through downtown Hamburg, with an average temperature of 73°F (23°C). This plan prepares you for sustained pacing, mental toughness, and late-race endurance through progressive long runs, brick workouts, and recovery protocols.
What You’ll Get:
✅ Power and Heart Rate-Based Sessions to train with precision
📲 Garmin Sync for swim, bike, and run workouts—everything right on your device
🔁 3/1 Training Structure: Three weeks of focused effort, followed by one week of recovery
💨 VO2 & Tempo Workouts to build stamina, speed, and confidence
🏋️ Strength Sessions with Video Guidance tailored to Masters athletes
📈 Progressive Load: From 8 to 16 training hours per week as your fitness builds
