Plan Description
The Full Distance Triathlon Lake Placid featues a 2.4-mile swim in the calm waters of Mirror Lake, a 112-mile ride through the Adirondacks with nearly 8,000 feet of elevation gain, and a challenging 26.2-mile run through rolling hills and scenic river routes. With cool July temperatures and enthusiastic spectators, this course is both beautiful and demanding—requiring precise preparation to meet its physical and mental challenges.
The 44-Week Competitive Full Distance Triathlon Training Plan is designed specifically for athletes like you—experienced, focused, over 40= and ready to perform. Whether you're returning to training after a break or targeting a personal best, this plan builds you up from zero base mileage to race readiness with a methodical, science-driven approach.
How This Plan Prepares You for Lake Placid’s Unique Demands:
🏊 Mirror Lake Swim Readiness
