Plan Description
If you're preparing for the Full Distance Triathlon in Switzerland-Thun, your journey starts here. This six-month, beginner-friendly training plan is designed specifically for athletes targeting Thun’s scenic yet demanding course—where glacial waters, alpine climbs, and a lakeside run demand focus, endurance, and strategy.
🏔 How This Plan Prepares You for Thun
SWIM – 3.8 KM (2.4 MILES)
Lake Thun offers clear, cool waters with an Australian exit midway. You’ll train with structured swim workouts that include endurance sets and VO2 interval training to mimic the race-day demands of pacing and re-entry. Our instructional swim drill videos ensure your form stays efficient from start to finish.
BIKE – 180 KM (112 MILES)
With 2,000 meters of climbing and technical descents, the two-loop bike course is no easy cruise. Our plan includes progressive long rides, RPE/Heart Rate-based intervals, and beginner-friendly strength sessions that build power for climbs and stability for descents.
RUN – 42.2 KM (26.2 MILES)
The flat, multi-loop run through Thun calls for consistent pacing. You’ll follow a gradual progression in mileage alongside AI-generated gait analysis and race-specific brick workouts to ensure you're strong off the bike.
