Plan Description
Tackling the Full Distance Triathlon in Tallinn means preparing for a 3.8 km freshwater lake swim, a 180 km bike ride through scenic yet wind-exposed countryside, and a marathon weaving through cobblestone streets and historic neighborhoods. This 44-week Full Distance Triathlon training plan for beginners is built specifically to prepare you—step by step—for every challenge Tallinn offers.
The first 12 weeks focus on developing a solid endurance base with strength and conditioning workouts that support your swim, bike, and run progression. These early sessions help you adapt to longer durations while minimizing injury risk—critical for sustaining effort across all three disciplines.
From week 13 onward, the training intensity ramps up gradually. Swim sessions are tailored to mimic the calm, open-water conditions of Lake Harku while progressively building your comfort and efficiency in long, continuous efforts.
The bike workouts are designed to simulate Tallinn’s rolling terrain and potential wind exposure. You'll complete long rides that build power and pacing, essential for navigating the two-loop bike course without fatigue on race day.
As you approach peak weeks (14 hours by Week 39), structured run sessions prepare your legs and mind for the unique demands of a multi-loop marathon course, including flat segments and sections of cobblestone through Tallinn’s Old Town.
✅ 12-week base phase to build endurance and strength
✅ Progressive weekly hours, peaking at 14 for optimal adaptation
✅ Structured swim sessions designed for lake conditions
✅ Bike workouts that train you for flat stretches and windy exposures
✅ Run training for multi-loop terrain and mental pacing
✅ Includes "B" and "C" race options to sharpen your performance
