Plan Description
Preparing for the Full Distance Triathlon Frankfurt involves systematic training across all three disciplines. The course includes a 3.8 km swim at Langer Waldsee, a 180 km bike segment that combines rolling hills with urban flats, and a 42.2 km run along the Main River. A structured and progressive training approach—such as the 44-week Competitive Masters Full Distance Triathlon Training Plan—is designed to address the specific demands of this race.
Even if you’re starting after time off, this plan does not require a pre-built fitness base. Instead, it strategically develops your endurance, power, and race-day execution through a phased system tailored for athletes over 40 who seek competitive results.
🔍 Structured Phases for Long-Term Success
✅ 12-Week Base Phase
Build aerobic capacity, refine technique, and develop durability with a smart 3:1 loading structure. Weekly training starts at just 4 hours, peaking at 8 hours—ideal for reconditioning your body without overtraining.
✅ 32-Week Full Distance Triathlon Phase
Targeted race preparation with progressive load cycles. Training ramps from 7 to 15 hours per week, aligning with the demands of Frankfurt’s fast-yet-technical course—especially helpful for mastering its mixed-terrain bike course and flat, high-energy run.
📈 Integrated, Data-Driven Workouts
✔️ Garmin-Compatible Sessions – Syncs with your device for real-time pacing via RPE, Heart Rate, and Power Zones.
✔️ Video-Guided Swim Drills – Improve open-water form and economy for Frankfurt’s spectator-lined swim start.
✔️ Structured Bike & Run Sessions – Precision workouts to handle the mix of hills and speedwork needed for 'Mainhattan’s' dynamic course.
✔️ Strength Training for Masters Athletes – Joint-friendly workouts to maintain durability over 44 weeks.
💬 Personalized Support Along the Way
This training plan includes email support from a certified coach, so you're never training alone. Whether you need guidance with pacing strategy or workout adjustments, help is just a message away.
🏁 Why It Works for Frankfurt
