The Full Distance Triathlon Switzerland-Thun is one of Europe’s most visually stunning and physically demanding endurance races. With a 3.8 km swim in the clear, glacial waters of Lake Thun, a challenging 180 km ride through alpine foothills with 2,000m of climbing, and a flat but multi-loop 42.2 km run along the lake and through the city, preparation is everything.
That’s where this 24-week Full Distance Triathlon Training Plan comes in.
🎯 Built for High-Performance Amateur Athletes
This plan is not for beginners. You must have a well-established aerobic base before starting. From day one, the training demands high-level focus, starting with a 25-minute Anaerobic Threshold interval set in the first week.
Over 6 months, training volume builds strategically from 10.5 to 18 hours per week. Every session is designed with the unique demands of the Thun course in mind—from the open-water swim loops and technical bike descents to the long, steady run segments.
✅ Develop deep aerobic capacity through base mile swim, bike, and run workouts
✅ Climb strong with hill-specific intervals that mimic the elevation of Thun's bike course
✅ Build top-end power with anaerobic threshold, VO2 max, and ATP-PC sprint intervals
✅ Execute smooth transitions with progressive brick workouts
✅ Swim confidently with structured open-water sessions and drill-focused videos
✅ Refine your running form using AI-generated gait analysis
✅ Target race-day pacing using heart rate and power-based intervals
